Avodart is used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH). Avodart works by reducing the size of an enlarged prostate gland. This helps relieve symptoms of the disease such as difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, and the need to urinate more often or more urgently including in the middle of the night. Avodart may also reduce the need for surgery to treat an enlarged prostate.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tends to increase with age. Treatment for BPH can cause unwanted side effects and affect your sex life.

Currently, the method of endoscopic surgery through the urethra to remove prostate hyperplasia has become popular in the world because it has many advantages over open surgery such as: no incision, limited blood loss, no pain and therefore the patient recovers faster.

Transrectal ultrasound method for diagnosing benign prostatic hyperplasia can provide the clearest image, providing access to accurately assess the size, morphology, parenchyma and some lesions around the prostate.

Laparoscopic prostatectomy is a very popular treatment for prostate enlargement today. Laryngeal mask anesthesia is an anesthetic method that can be used in laparoscopic prostatectomy if endotracheal anesthesia is difficult to perform.
