Effective, minimally invasive treatments for an enlarged prostate to improve urinary flow and comfort.

What is an enlarged prostate?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition where the prostate gland enlarges, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Our advanced treatment options provide relief and restore normal function.

Symptoms of an enlarged prostate

  • Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia).

  • Weak or interrupted urine stream.

  • Difficulty starting urination.

  • Urgency or inability to completely empty the bladder.

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to retention of urine.

Treatments For Enlarged Prostates (BPH)

  • Lifestyle Modifications & Medication

    For mild to moderate BPH symptoms, lifestyle changes and medications such as alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors can improve urinary flow and reduce prostate size.

  • UroLift® System

    A permanent implant that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, improving urine flow without cutting or removing tissue.

  • Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

    A gold-standard surgical procedure that removes excess prostate tissue to restore urinary function.

  • Aquablation Therapy

    A robotic, high-precision water-based therapy that removes prostate tissue while preserving sexual function.
