About 1 in 5 patients develop urinary incontinence 3 months after thulium fiber laser enucleation of the prostate, with rates decreasing over 12 months.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects men as they age, particularly those over 50. As the prostate enlarges, it can lead to uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating urinary issues, such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, and dribbling. For many, the symptoms become severe enough that they seek medical intervention. Traditionally, this has involved surgery, most commonly in the form of laser treatments or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
