Abstract
Interested in the anti-inflammatory effect of LPL, we conducted a study to investigate the efficacy of LPL for the treatment pf urinary disturbance of prostatic hypertrophy.
Objects were 30 PH patients (53-87 years old, all male), who had urinary disturbance.
A group received the LPL therapy of 10mW laser and B group was treated by 1mW laser. The irradiation time was 30~60 seconds/point, 6 points/patients, 3~4 minutes in total and repeated for 7 days continuously.
The efficacy of LPL was checked by a questionnaire about the level of urinary disturbance.
As a result of analysis of questionnaire, we found the possible efficacy of LPL for PH patients, especially 1mW laser more effective than 10mW laser.
