Sneha Bhatia, 68, is a retired school principal from Pune who lives with her daughter's family. An active grandmother, she began experiencing frequent, urgent trips to the bathroom that disrupted her sleep and outings with her grandchildren. Her symptoms, a weak urine stream, a constant feeling of not emptying her bladder, and occasional discomfort, had gradually worsened over two years, diminishing her confidence and independence. Her urologist, Dr. Mehta, diagnosed an enlarged prostate (BPH) and, after less invasive medications provided only partial relief, recommended a GreenLight Laser Prostatectomy. He explained it as a precise, minimally invasive option with a shorter recovery, which appealed to Sneha's desire to return quickly to her family life. The procedure itself was under spinal anesthesia; she felt no pain, only pressure. The recovery was swift. Within days, her urinary flow was stronger, and the relentless urgency faded. Within two weeks, she was comfortably accompanying her grandchildren to the park. Emotionally, Sneha moved from a state of quiet frustration and embarrassment about her symptoms to profound relief and regained freedom. She felt like she had reclaimed a fundamental part of her daily life and her role as an active, present grandmother.
