Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / May 2008How much it costs to have Greenlight laser PVP for BPH in USA
I have a 75 years old friend in my neighborhood having no insurance. Can anyone be kind enough to advise the cost of a Green Light laser PVP procedure done on him in Houston or anywhere in the US? Any help will be very thanked. Is there any other therapy or medicine available for the BPH. He had a TURP surgery done 3/4 years ago and he was ok for 3 years but the problem now is he has difficulty in passing. Thanks in anticipation. > I have a 75 years old friend in my neighborhood having no insurance. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > problem now is he has difficulty in passing. > Thanks in anticipation.

Catherize yourself with a 12 or 16 french, if it's urine retention. What's the prostate size?

How do you know it is BPH causing these new symptoms? A urologist should examine him to do a diagnosis. There are medicines that can help if it is BPH, and there are certainly many therapies available. Again, your uro can advise. But first, it is very important to have a diagnosis. I have heard that a PVP is around $10-15,000.

It was said they used a local anesthesia. Maybe that is one reason they are cheaper! |
