Understanding BPH
What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition as men age, where the prostate gland becomes enlarged. While not cancerous, it can cause uncomfortable urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder.
Evaluation & Diagnosis
Medical History & Symptom Score
We begin with a thorough review of your health history and a standardized symptom questionnaire like the AUA Symptom Index to quantify the severity of your urinary concerns.
Goals of
Therapy
When treating an obstructed prostate, sexual factors should be considered such as ED and ejaculation. Determining treatment priorities is crucial in determining the correct intervention.
Specialized Diagnostic Testing
Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend urinalysis, PSA testing, cystoscopy, uroflowmetry, or ultrasound to evaluate flow rates and bladder emptying efficiency.
Advanced Robotic Surgery
Aquablation
Aquablation starts with generating a detailed, AI assisted digital map of the prostate. Treatment uses the power of water delivered with robotic precision to provide long-lasting BPH relief without compromise. It is precise, consistent, and predictable, and provides long-term relief no matter how large your prostate.
​
We know that the primary reason men are delaying surgery is because they are concerned about side effects.  In fact, a recent survey shows that 85% of men are concerned that surgery will cause incontinence, and 4 out of 5 men are concerned that surgery will have a permanent impact on their sexual function. In clinical studies, men who had Aquablation therapy had a very low rate of irreversible complications—incontinence, ejaculatory dysfunction, erectile dysfunction.
Minimally Invasive
UroLift System
The UroLift System is an in office treatment that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. After the treatment, patients typically go home the same day without a catheter. It is a heat-free procedure that typically preserves sexual function and has a quick recovery time.  Clinical studies have shown the UroLift System treatment does not cause new, sustained instances of erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction.
