UroLift, Rezum and Progator: what BPH surgery costs in Busan.
Three minimally invasive BPH procedures, one published starting price — from ₩10,000,000 — and a ₩600,000 full prostate check-up that comes first. This guide explains what sits inside those figures, why the three options share a price, what the “from” depends on, and how to budget a prostate trip to our Busan Seomyeon clinic.

- Why do UroLift, Rezum and Progator all start at the same price?

Each is answered below, with the figures from our price list rather than estimates.
What does the prostate check-up cost in Busan?
BPH treatment at Urogyn Men's Clinic in Busan Seomyeon begins with a full prostate check-up listed at ₩600,000 — testosterone, PSA, urine analysis and ultrasound together. It is the assessment that tells the urologist whether your symptoms are BPH at all, how large the prostate is, and which of the three minimally invasive procedures — UroLift, Rezum or Progator, each from ₩10,000,000 — fits your anatomy, or whether medication is still the right answer.
The check-up is deliberately a bundle: the four components together are what a BPH decision needs, and for many men the outcome is “not surgery yet”. The prostate care hub explains what each test shows. If you already have recent PSA and ultrasound results from home, send them before you travel; the urologist will tell you which components can be skipped and charge only for what is done.
Testosterone, PSA, urine and ultrasound together. The BPH decision starts here.
Prostate cancer marker. Listed separately for men who only need a repeat.
Prostate, scrotum, kidney or chest — per area. Prostate volume drives the procedure choice.
Rules out infection before any BPH procedure is planned.
What do UroLift, Rezum and Progator cost in Busan?
All three BPH procedures are listed from ₩10,000,000. UroLift places small implants that hold the enlarged lobes apart without cutting tissue. Rezum injects water vapour into the prostate so the treated tissue shrinks over the following weeks. Progator uses sutures to ligate and compress the obstructing tissue. Each is an office-based, minimally invasive alternative to traditional TURP surgery, performed by a urologist whose focus is BPH.
Permanent implants lift the lobes apart. No cutting, no heating; preserves sexual function.
Water-vapour steam therapy. Tissue shrinks over weeks; suited to larger glands than UroLift.
Suture-based ligation of obstructing tissue. Chosen for specific anatomy the other two handle less well.
The shared starting price is intentional: it removes money from the decision. When three options cost the same to begin with, the choice between them is made on prostate size, shape and your priorities — not on which one the clinic would rather sell.

Read about UroLift in Busan →What does the “from ₩10,000,000” depend on?
- Prostate size. A larger gland needs more UroLift implants or more Rezum vapour injections. The ultrasound in the check-up measures this, which is why the check-up comes first and the final figure comes after it.
- Anatomy. A prominent median lobe or an unusual shape can change which procedure is suitable and how extensive it is.
- Anaesthesia and stay. All three are typically done under local anaesthesia with sedation and same-day discharge; where a longer observation is medically sensible, that is discussed and priced before the day, not after.
- Nothing about you. Nationality, language and booking from abroad do not change any figure — Urogyn publishes one list for everyone, and the reasoning is on our why choose us page.
Why doesn't the price decide the procedure?
Because they start at the same figure, the three procedures are chosen clinically. As a rule of thumb from our urologists: UroLift suits small-to-moderate glands without a large median lobe and men who most want to protect ejaculation; Rezum handles larger glands and median lobes but takes weeks to show its full effect; Progator is used where the anatomy suits a suture-based approach. Men who still respond well to tablets are told so — medication is cheaper than any of the three, and the check-up exists partly to find out whether you still need only that.
Which smaller prostate items are on the same list?
Two items sit alongside the check-up for men whose problem is not enlargement at all. Prostate massage is ₩100,000, used in the assessment and treatment of prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain. And the testosterone and hormone panel is ₩150,000 for a single hormone or ₩500,000 for the full panel, for men whose urinary symptoms sit alongside fatigue or low libido. If your symptoms are pain rather than a weak stream, the prostatitis page is the better starting point — and the budget is very different.
How does BPH surgery in Busan compare abroad?
UroLift and Rezum are hospital or ambulatory procedures in most countries, and their private cost is dominated by facility and anaesthesia fees rather than the device: private quotes in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia commonly run well into five figures in local currency once those are added, with the diagnostic work-up billed separately beforehand. Waiting lists in public systems push many men to those private prices. Against that, from ₩10,000,000 at our Busan clinic — with the ₩600,000 check-up as the whole work-up — sits at or below the usual private range.
The comparison our BPH specialist would rather you make is on who does it: a urologist whose focus is these procedures, who performs the check-up, the procedure and the follow-up himself, and who speaks to you in English throughout. Device and technique are the same the world over; that continuity is not.
How should I budget a BPH trip to Busan?
Testosterone, PSA, urine and ultrasound. Fewer components if you bring recent results.
UroLift, Rezum or Progator. Exact figure in writing after the check-up.
Check-up and procedure can often be sequenced on one trip; plan a few quiet nights before flying — see the visit guide.
Symptom checks and questions over WhatsApp with the same urologist; catheter or flow questions answered the same day.
The realistic plan for an international patient is one trip with two visits: the check-up on day one, the urologist's decision and written price the same day, and the procedure a day or two later once any urine result is back. Men who send recent PSA and ultrasound results in advance often compress this further.
What does the price not buy?
Three honest limits. First, none of the three procedures shrinks a prostate to normal — they relieve obstruction, and symptom scores improve over weeks rather than overnight, especially with Rezum. Second, BPH is progressive: a minority of men need a further procedure years later, and no clinic can price that away. Third, if your check-up shows a prostate too large for any of the three, our urologists will say so and discuss a hospital referral rather than fit you to a procedure. The prostate hub is candid about all three.
How it runs at our Busan Seomyeon clinic — and your next step
Message us with your travel dates, your main symptoms (weak stream, night urination, urgency), current medication, and any recent PSA or ultrasound results. You will receive a reply in English confirming the ₩600,000 check-up, which components you may skip, and a written procedure estimate if your prostate volume is known. On the day, Dr. Kim Tae-kyung or one of the other two urologists consults, examines and decides with you; the same doctor performs the procedure and answers your messages afterwards. For the clinical detail behind every figure, start with the prostate care hub or the full price list.
- Can I keep taking my BPH tablets until the procedure? Usually yes, and often afterwards for a short period while the effect develops. The urologist will tell you exactly when to stop, which matters more with Rezum than with UroLift.
- Is a catheter needed, and for how long? It depends on the procedure and your bladder: UroLift often needs none; Rezum commonly needs one for a few days. Both are explained at the check-up so the trip can be planned around it.
