KhunBENQ Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Bangkok Hospital P. now also offering water vapor (rezum) therapy. https://www.bangkokpattayahospital.com/en/healthcare-services/urology-center-en/urology-health-articles-en/item/3147-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia.html To give an idea about the cost: Bumrungrad in Bangkok a whopping 250'000. BNH Bangkok offer water vapor and "TIND", never heard before. https://mbrace.bnhhospital.com/en/rezum/ https://mbrace.bnhhospital.com/en/itind/ Whether or not it fits you can only be decided after comprehensive examination. And compare prices. I would not hesitate to go to Bangkok if it pays. Edited August 9, 2022 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rate him as very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahjongguy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 My TURP was performed twenty years ago in the States. Since about 2010 I have been a patient of Dr. Pornchai at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. So far he has helped me avoid further surgery, which I greatly appreciate. I have every confidence in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
