Laser treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new laser treatment for an enlarged prostate that has not improved with medication. The goal is to relieve urinary symptoms by removing or shrinking the tissue blocking urine flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
