Benign prostate enlargement (BPH) - also known as benign enlargement of the prostate (BEP), benign prostatic hypertrophy or odular hyperplasia - is a common ailment suffered by middle-aged and elderly human males. While it is not cancerous or life-threatening, it can cause a great deal of discomfort. Of course, it is not uncommon for men afflicted with this problem to look into prostate treatments.
Transurethral Ultrasound-Guided Laser Prostatectomy (TULIP) is a closed surgery, which emphasizes on the application of ultrasound and laser technologies. It was first used during the eighties to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.
