## How GreenLight Laser works

For men with a significantly enlarged prostate, the GreenLight Laser delivers focused energy that precisely vaporizes the excess tissue pressing on the urethra. As the obstruction is removed, urine can flow freely again — often with immediate, noticeable improvement.

## Advantages of GreenLight

- Rapid relief of urinary symptoms — many men feel the difference quickly.

- Minimal bleeding , which can make it a strong option for men taking blood thinners.

- Short recovery compared with traditional open prostate surgery.

- Performed by an expert. Dr. Lief is a GreenLight proctor — a urologist trusted to train other physicians in the procedure.

## Is GreenLight or Rezūm right for me?

Both relieve BPH, but they suit different prostates and goals. [Rezūm](rezum-therapy.html) is a quick in-office steam treatment ideal for moderate enlargement and men who want to avoid surgery; GreenLight is a laser procedure well-suited to larger prostates needing more definitive relief. Dr. Lief will recommend the best path after evaluating your prostate size and symptoms.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I have GreenLight Laser if I'm on blood thinners?

Often yes. GreenLight is known for minimal bleeding, which makes it a frequent choice for men who take anticoagulants. Dr. Lief will review your medications and coordinate care safely.

### How is GreenLight different from Rezūm?

Rezūm uses water vapor in the office for moderate BPH; GreenLight uses a laser to vaporize tissue and is well-suited to larger prostates. Dr. Lief recommends the right option based on your anatomy.
