Enlarged Prostate Treatment in India | Patient from Kenya Finds Relief Through Vaidam Health


Age: 70 years

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Kenya

Doctor Name: Dr. Vikram Sharma

Hospital Name: Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon

Treatment: Robotic Radical Prostatectomy

An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is common in aging men. It occurs when the prostate gland enlarges, compressing the urethra and causing symptoms like frequent urination, difficulty starting, weak urine flow, incomplete bladder emptying, and dribbling.

Its symptoms are mostly found in older adults, with around 80% of men aged 70 years and older experiencing some symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

A resident of Kenya who was also falling in the same age range was experiencing symptoms of an enlarged prostate. He was diagnosed with this condition in his home country and was looking for a reliable treatment option.

One of his friends, whom we served a while ago, suggested he contact us. After checking out our work, he contacted us and sent us his reports. We thoroughly reviewed them and suggested that he come to India.

His medical visa was soon arranged, and he came to India with his wife. As they reached the airport, we sent one of our coordinators to pick them up and drop them off at the hotel, which was pre-arranged.

Later, he went to Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon and consulted Dr. Vikram Sharma, a Urologist with over 36 years of experience. He carefully performed the evaluation and suggested that he undergo a Robotic Radical Prostatectomy, which was carried out successfully without any complications.

His wife also had a health checkup in the same hospital. The couple was happy with the exceptional services and stayed in the country for 25 days for complete recovery.

He expressed his gratitude, saying, "I would definitely refer friends who wish to come to India to go through Vaidam company; many thanks and be blessed."

We hope he gets well soon and lives a long, healthy life!
