Prostate maintains the fertility of males by secretion of semen. It grows larger with age, which narrows the urethra and creates difficulty in urination. This condition is called benign prostatic hyperplasia or benign prostatic hypertrophy and it is not cancerous. For many years, doctors believed that this common condition was the result of an increase in the size of certain cells in the prostate gland. An increase in cell size is known as hypertrophy. In BPH, prostate cells do get bigger, but the number of cells also increases. An increase in cell number is known as hyperplasia. So, benign prostatic hyperplasia and benign prostatic hypertrophy, both are same but different in a mechanism.

A scope is inserted in the urethra through the penis.  After that, a laser beam is to be passed through the scope and removes the enlarged part of the prostate by melting or cutting. The laser melts the excess prostate tissue in photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP).
