Frequently asked questions
How is GreenLight different from TURP?
TURP uses electrical energy to cut prostate tissue and requires stopping blood thinners before surgery. GreenLight uses a high-power 532-nm laser to vaporize tissue with near-zero blood loss · safe to perform without stopping anticoagulants. Recovery is shorter but results are similar in patients with medium-sized prostates.
Is GreenLight safe if I take blood thinners?
Yes. GreenLight is the standard BPH option for men on aspirin, clopidogrel, or DOACs who cannot safely stop them. The laser seals blood vessels as it works.
What prostate size is GreenLight best for?
GreenLight works best for prostates 30-100g. For very large prostates over 100g, HoLEP is more efficient and gives more durable results.
Will I lose ejaculation after GreenLight?
Retrograde ejaculation occurs in roughly 30-60% of GreenLight patients, lower than TURP but higher than minimally invasive options like Rezum or UroLift.
How much does GreenLight cost in Bangkok?
Cost depends on anesthesia choice, prostate size, and length of hospital admission. Book a consultation for a personalized quote.
