How Safe Is Green Light Laser Procedure?

I'll be having green light laser procedure, how safe is it? I'm in Coumadin and I'm afraid of continuous bleeding because working I have a job. Will it take months to heal for my case? The actual problem I have is I uriinate so often. Having hard or dificult urination is not the issue. The issue is frequent ruination. Flomax helps . From some comments I have read, I feel frightened .Will side effect of incontinence become an issue . I'm afraid I might not have control of my urination. I feel I'm too young for this...

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Probably you might have Benign Hypertrophy of Prostate.
That's your said to treat it by new innovative and minimally invasive laser removal of prostate called Green Laser Surgery.
In this procedure, excess prostate tissue is vapourised and removed by laser.
It is a great innovative, Because of the following reasons,
1. Provide immediate symptomatic relief.
2. very much minimally invasive
3. No catheter is needed after surgery
4. No deep tissue damage.

Comparing to Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate (TURP), it have shorter hospital stay, short recovery time, Minimal tissue damage, immediate relief and improvement in urinary flow.

Thus it is a safe procedure than Transurethral resection of Prostate.
You can go for this Green laser removal of Prostate.
