medication. This daycare procedure allows patients to resume their normal
activities quickly.

explains Dr. Suri Raju V, senior consultant urologist and Founder of
Regal Hospital. "A needle delivers high-temperature water vapor into
the prostate for a short duration, effectively shrinking the tissue without
harming surrounding areas."
