for Treatment of Enlarged Prostate (BPH) Non-contact laser coagulation of the prostate is one of the most advanced procedures in the treatment of BPH. Typically, this procedure is done in-office or at an outpatient facility and is completed in 30 minutes or less. How Does Non-Contact Laser Coagulation of the Prostate Work? Dr. Woods threads a special fiber through the urethra and into the prostate, positioning the tip of the fiber in the targeted area. At this point, the fiberoptic tip delivers controlled laser energy that destroys precise areas of the prostate. As the body gradually absorbs the coagulated tissue, the prostate becomes smaller, the urethra returns to its normal shape and size, and urine flows more freely again. Our patients generally begin to feel relief from BPH symptoms within weeks.
