For many men over the age of 50, the experience of an enlarged prostate, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), can become a daily battle. Abdool Ifran, a 67-year-old resident of Mauritius, knows this struggle all too well. For several years, Abdool lived with the discomfort, pain, and disruptions caused by his prostate condition—frequent urination, weak urine flow, interrupted sleep, and a constant sense of urgency. His life was no longer his own. But that all changed when he discovered the UroLift procedure, and more importantly, decided to have it done in India, a decision that would change his life in more ways than one.

Mauritius is a beautiful island nation with a developing healthcare system, but when it came to advanced medical procedures like UroLift, Abdool faced limited options and steep costs. After extensive research and discussions with friends and medical professionals, Abdool discovered the potential of medical tourism in India. India has become a preferred destination for patient’s worldwide seeking affordable, high-quality treatment.

What stood out most to Abdool was the reputation of Indian hospitals, the advanced technology used in urological procedures, and the expertise of the doctors, all at a fraction of the cost he would pay elsewhere. He contacted our Tour2India4Health medical tourism company—trusted for assisting international patients with seamless medical travel—and from the very first conversation, Abdool felt assured. Our team explained every step, provided detailed treatment plans, and handled everything from hospital coordination to travel arrangements.

Before going further into Abdool’s experience, it’s important to understand what UroLift is and why it is revolutionary for patients with BPH. The Urolift is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat an enlarged prostate.

This method involves placing small implants that lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue in place, so it doesn't block the urethra. For Abdool, the UroLift option sounded ideal. He was nervous, yes, but hopeful for the first time in years.

Abdool’s medical journey began the moment he boarded his flight to India. From airport pickup to hotel check-in, every aspect of his trip was prearranged by our dedicated team. When he arrived at the Fortis Hospital BG Road Bangalore, he was warmly received by the medical staff and introduced to the Dr. Mohan Keshavamurthy India’s best urology specialist who would perform the procedure.

Abdool underwent pre-surgical evaluations and consultations, where doctors explained the process in detail and answered all his questions patiently. He was particularly impressed by the state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, the cleanliness and organization of the hospital, and most importantly, the genuine care and empathy shown by the medical staff. The UroLift procedure itself took less than an hour and was performed under local anesthesia. Abdool was able to go home the same day, and within a few days, he felt a dramatic improvement. He couldn’t believe the difference. No more getting up 5–6 times at night, no more pain. I got my life back!

From post-surgical check-ups to helping with medications and dietary plans, Abdool never felt alone. He spent about 10 days in India, including recovery time, and during this period, we ensured he experienced not just healing, but also joy. One of the best parts of Abdool’s journey was what came after the surgery.

Being a food lover, Abdool was excited to explore Indian cuisine. From North Indian butter chicken and naan to South Indian dosas and sambar, every meal was a celebration of flavor. He appreciated the variety and also the availability of mild, stomach-friendly versions that catered to his recovery diet. Once he felt better, we arranged a guided sightseeing tour for Abdool around the city.

He visited historical landmarks, peaceful temples, and bustling markets. His favorite moment? A peaceful boat ride followed by chai at a street-side stall, watching the world go by. Abdool didn’t forget his family back home. He went on a shopping spree, picking up handcrafted souvenirs, silk scarves, spices, and Indian sweets to carry back. My grandchildren loved the colourful trinkets he brought. It made me so happy to see them smile.

By the end of his trip, Abdool felt rejuvenated—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. He was deeply grateful for the doctors, the hospital, and especially our Tour2India4Health Consultants, for making everything so smooth and comfortable. India healed him in ways he never thought possible. From the medical care to the hospitality, everything exceeded my expectations.

He went back home not just cured, but with memories he’ll cherish forever. Abdool Ifran’s journey is a testament to what’s possible when advanced medical care meets compassion and coordination. For anyone suffering from an enlarged prostate and struggling with limited options, India offers not just world-class treatment like UroLift but also an unforgettable experience.
