Prostate & BPH care in Busan Seomyeon , without the catheter.
An enlarged prostate doesn't have to mean major surgery. At Urogyn in Seomyeon, Busan — one minute from Seomyeon Station Exit 7 — a board-certified urologist treats BPH with minimally invasive options — UroLift, Rezum and Progator — that relieve symptoms while preserving sexual function. Plus PSA screening and prostatitis care, explained in English.
How is an enlarged prostate treated in Busan?
At Urogyn Men's Urology Clinic in Busan Seomyeon, benign prostatic hyperplasia is assessed with a ₩600,000 work-up — testosterone, PSA, urine analysis and prostate ultrasound — and then treated with the least invasive option that fits your anatomy: watchful waiting, medication, or one of three minimally invasive procedures from ₩10,000,000 — UroLift, Rezum or Progator. All three preserve ejaculation and erections; most men leave without a catheter.
Which one is a clinical decision, not a commercial one: all three are the same published price here, so the urologist chooses on prostate size, median lobe and what you want to protect. Prostate size under about 80 g with no significant middle lobe points to UroLift; a larger gland or a prominent median lobe to Rezum. If the problem is pain or burning rather than a weak stream, it is prostatitis rather than obstruction and is treated differently. The BPH symptoms guide explains which signs mean it is time to be checked.
What an enlarged prostate actually means — and what we check in Busan.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the non-cancerous growth of the prostate that most men experience with age. As the gland enlarges, it presses on the urethra and disrupts the flow of urine — causing a weak stream, frequent trips to the bathroom, and waking at night.
BPH is common and treatable. The goal of modern care is not just to relieve the obstruction, but to do it without damaging ejaculation, erections, or continence — which is why we favour minimally invasive procedures over older resection surgery whenever the case allows.

Every prostate plan at our Busan Seomyeon clinic starts with the gentlest effective option. Explore each procedure in depth, or use the decision guide below.
UroLift
Tiny implants hold the enlarged prostate open. No cutting, no heat, no catheter for most patients — and ejaculation is preserved.
Explore UroLift in BusanRezum
Water-vapour steam shrinks excess prostate tissue from the inside in a short in-clinic visit, preserving sexual function.
Explore Rezum in BusanProgator Ligation
Suture-based ligation compresses the prostate without heat or resection — fast recovery with function preserved.
Explore Progator in BusanProstatitis Care
Burning, pelvic pain or frequency without enlargement? That's often prostatitis (CPPS) — diagnosed and treated differently from BPH.
Explore Prostatitis Care in BusanWhen a BPH procedure in Busan earns its price — and when it does not.
All three procedures cost the same here, so this is decided on anatomy and symptoms alone.
A procedure makes sense if you…
- Score 8 or more on the symptom score and the symptoms bother you most nights
- Have tried medication and found it insufficient, or cannot tolerate its side effects
- Want ejaculation and erections preserved above every other consideration
- Have a high residual volume or a thickening bladder wall on ultrasound
- Have had an episode of retention, or repeated infections from incomplete emptying
- Want the option settled in one trip to Busan rather than years of tablets
We will say wait, or treat something else, if you…
- Have mild symptoms and have never tried medication — a tablet is cheaper and we say so
- Have pain, burning or urgency rather than a weak stream — that is prostatitis, not obstruction
- Wake once a night and are not bothered by it — watchful waiting with a baseline PSA
- Have a PSA out of proportion to prostate size — that is assessed before any BPH treatment
- Are producing large night-time volumes rather than small frequent ones — often fluid or hormonal, not prostatic

Function preserved
Treatments are chosen to protect ejaculation, erections and continence. Symptom relief shouldn't cost you your sex life.

What men ask our Busan urologists once the basics are clear.
Why are UroLift, Rezum and Progator all the same price?
So the choice between them is clinical. Elsewhere they are often priced differently and the recommendation can drift toward the pricier one. All three start from ₩10,000,000 at our Busan Seomyeon clinic, and Dr. Kim Tae-kyung — whose focus is BPH — chooses on prostate size, median lobe and what you want to protect. The UroLift vs Rezum guide sets out that decision in detail.
What is actually in the ₩600,000 work-up, and can I skip parts?
Testosterone, PSA, urine analysis and prostate ultrasound together — ₩700,000 if bought separately. If you bring a recent PSA or an ultrasound with prostate volume, the urologist says which components can be skipped and charges only for tests performed in Busan.
Does BPH treatment increase or reduce prostate cancer risk?
Neither. BPH is not cancer and does not become cancer, and relieving obstruction does not change cancer risk. The two can coexist, which is why a PSA is part of every work-up and why a value out of proportion to prostate size is assessed before any BPH treatment is planned.
Will I need this done again in ten years?
Possibly. BPH is progressive, and a minority of men need further treatment years after any procedure. UroLift and Rezum both leave later options open — including each other and hospital surgery — which is one reason younger men with smaller glands are steered toward them first.
I am in Busan for only a few days — is that enough?
Usually two visits on one trip: the work-up on day one, the procedure a day or two later once the urine result is back. Men who send a recent PSA and prostate volume in advance often compress this. The Seoul-to-Busan day-trip guide and the flying-after-surgery guide cover the timings either side.
Prostate questions, answered before you ask.
Not always. Many men are managed with watchful waiting or medication at our Busan clinic. A minimally invasive procedure is discussed at our Seomyeon clinic when the symptom score is moderate to severe, medication is insufficient or unwanted, or the ultrasound shows a high residual volume or a thickening bladder wall.
The full work-up — testosterone, PSA, urine analysis and prostate ultrasound — is ₩600,000, against ₩700,000 bought separately. UroLift, Rezum and Progator all start from ₩10,000,000, with the exact figure by implant or injection count confirmed in writing after the work-up. A PSA alone is ₩150,000.
So that the choice between them is clinical rather than commercial. The urologist chooses on prostate size, median lobe and what you want to protect — not on what the clinic earns.
The three minimally invasive options offered at Urogyn are chosen precisely because they preserve ejaculation and erections, unlike older resection surgery which often disrupts ejaculation. Your Busan urologist confirms the expected outcome for your case at the work-up.
Testosterone, PSA, urine analysis and prostate ultrasound, in one same-day visit in Busan. If you bring a recent PSA or an ultrasound with prostate volume from home, the urologist says which components can be skipped and charges only for tests performed.
PSA is interpreted at our Busan clinic against age, prostate size and symptoms rather than a single cut-off, and it can be raised by BPH, prostatitis or cancer alike. The urologist explains your value in that context; a result out of proportion to prostate size is assessed before any BPH treatment is planned.
A weak stream, hesitancy, straining and night waking point to obstruction from BPH. Pain in the perineum, testicles or low back, burning, or pain after ejaculation points to prostatitis, which is treated differently and rarely with a procedure. The urine test and examination in Busan separate the two.
Usually two to four nights after UroLift once voiding is comfortable, and after catheter removal for Rezum or Progator where one is used. Your Busan urologist confirms the timing in writing after the procedure, from how it went.
No — UroLift, Rezum and Progator are performed under local anaesthesia with sedation where needed, in the clinic's own procedure room in Seomyeon. Most men walk out the same day.
Usually not after UroLift. Rezum and Progator commonly need one for several days, and the flight home is planned after its removal. The urologist tells you which applies before you book travel to Busan.
BPH is progressive, so a minority of men treated in Busan need further treatment years later whichever procedure they have. UroLift and Rezum both leave later options open, including each other and hospital surgery — one reason younger men with smaller glands are steered toward them first.
Usually as two visits on one trip: the work-up on day one, the procedure a day or two later once the urine result is back. Sending a recent PSA and prostate volume before you travel often shortens this.
In the first days after a procedure in Busan: burning on urination, blood in the urine, urgency and pelvic discomfort — expected and self-limiting. Uncommon: urinary infection or temporary retention needing a short catheter. Fever, inability to pass urine or heavy bleeding with clots are reasons to message the clinic the same day.
No. Urogyn publishes one self-pay price list in Korean won and applies it to every patient. Nationality, language and booking from abroad change no figure.
Yes. The board-certified urologist in Busan who reads your work-up is the same doctor who performs your procedure and answers your follow-up messages. You are never passed to a junior doctor or a different surgeon.
Three things. That the prostate gets smaller — UroLift holds it open rather than shrinking it. That any result is permanent — BPH keeps progressing and some men need more treatment years later. And that one procedure suits every prostate — size and median lobe decide, and our Busan urologists say which at the work-up rather than after.
