It’s not easy to talk about prostate problems. For many men, it starts with a quiet discomfort: waking up multiple times a night, struggling with a weak stream, or feeling like their bladder is never quite empty. These aren’t just medical symptoms; they can chip away at your peace of mind, interrupt your sleep, and disrupt your quality of life.
At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, Dr. K. S. Shiva Kumar understands how unsettling these issues can be. He sees each patient not as a case, but as a person trying to get their life back on track. And with advanced options like prostate laser surgery in Bangalore, he helped countless men find comfort and relief, one step at a time.
What’s Really Going On?
The prostate is a small gland that plays a big role in male health. As men age, it’s normal for the prostate to grow. But sometimes, this growth can become excessive, leading to a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
While not cancerous, BPH can become frustrating and sometimes painful. The enlarged gland presses against the urethra, making it hard for urine to pass freely. You may notice:
- - A frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
- - A slow or interrupted urine stream
- - Straining to empty your bladder
- - Pain or burning sensation while urinating
- - Occasional urinary leakage or urgency
These symptoms affect nearly 50% of men over 50, and the good news is, there are safe, effective solutions available.
Introducing Laser Surgery: A Modern Answer to a Common Problem
Prostate laser surgery is a game-changer in the world of urology. It uses focused laser energy to remove or vaporize the excess prostate tissue, causing the blockage.
- - No large incisions.
- - No long hospital stays.
- - And most importantly, no unnecessary risks.
The procedure is typically done under spinal or general anesthesia and allows for precise removal of problematic tissue while minimizing bleeding. It's especially ideal for patients on blood thinners or those looking for faster recovery.
At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, Dr. Shiva Kumar handles every aspect of this surgery himself. You’ll never be passed around from doctor to doctor. From consultation to post-op care, you’ll receive dedicated attention from one experienced professional who knows your story and treats it with respect.
Why More Men Are Choosing Laser Surgery
You might wonder: why choose laser surgery over traditional methods like TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)?
Here’s why laser surgery stands out:
- - Minimally invasive: No open cuts, no stitches
- - Faster recovery: Most patients go home within a day
- - Minimal bleeding: Ideal for patients on medications like aspirin
- - Lower risk of complications: Less chance of infection or post-op issues
- - Long-term relief: High success rates with lasting symptom relief
It’s not just about treating a medical issue; it’s about getting your freedom back.
Is It the Right Choice for You?
Laser surgery isn’t for everyone, but it’s a great option for many. It’s often recommended when:
- - Medications have stopped working
- - Symptoms are affecting daily life
- - You’re looking for a durable, low-risk solution
- - Other health conditions rule out more invasive surgeries
Dr. Shiva Kumar will walk you through your options in a calm, pressure-free environment. He’ll review your test results, answer all your questions, and explain whether laser surgery fits your unique needs.
What Happens After the Procedure?
One of the best parts of prostate laser surgery is how smoothly most men recover. While you may have mild discomfort or a bit of urgency in the first few days, the overall healing process is quick.
Here’s what the journey typically looks like:
- - Hospital stay: Most patients go home within 24 hours
- - Catheter use: A temporary catheter is usually placed for 1–2 days
- - Discomfort: Minor, and easily managed with medication
- - Return to work: Often within a week (or sooner for desk jobs)
- - Results: Many patients notice improvements in urination almost immediately
Dr. Shiva Kumar remains accessible throughout your recovery. He checks in personally, and if you ever feel unsure or concerned, help is just a call away.

When Should You Act?
Prostate problems don’t go away on their own. If your current treatment isn’t working, or if you’ve been silently managing discomfort, it may be time to take action.
Some signs you shouldn’t ignore:
- - Nightly trips to the bathroom that leave you exhausted
- - Blood in urine (even if it only happened once)
- - Sudden inability to urinate
- - Frequent UTIs or bladder infections
- - Increasing discomfort or pelvic pain
The earlier you seek help, the more options you’ll have and the better your outcome is likely to be.

FAQs
Q1. Is prostate laser surgery painful?
Not at all. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure feels. It is typically done under spinal or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel anything during the surgery. Any post-operative discomfort is mild and easily managed with medications prescribed by Dr. K. S. Shiva Kumar.
Q2. How long will it take to recover from laser surgery?
Recovery is usually quick. Most men are able to go home within 24 hours and resume light activities within a few days. Full recovery, including improved urinary function, generally occurs within 1–2 weeks, depending on your health and how closely you follow post-op care instructions.
Q3. Will I still need to take prostate medication after the surgery?
In most cases, no. Prostate laser surgery often eliminates or significantly reduces the need for daily medications. However, Dr. Shiva Kumar will evaluate your condition during follow-ups and let you know if any temporary medication is needed.
Q4. Can prostate laser surgery affect sexual function?
This is a common concern, and the answer is reassuring. The procedure is designed to preserve the surrounding nerves. While some men may experience temporary changes in ejaculation, most find that their sexual function is preserved or even improves after relief from BPH symptoms.
Q5. How do I know if I’m a candidate for prostate laser surgery?
