Asante strives to continually bring the latest, proven treatment options to our region. In keeping with this effort, Asante Physician Partners Urology offers the UroLift® procedure, a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A condition that affects millions of men worldwide, BPH occurs when the prostate gland, which surrounds the urethra, enlarges and obstructs urine flow. This can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including frequent urination, weak urine flow and difficulty starting or stopping urination.
The UroLift® procedure offers a way to treat BPH without the need for traditional surgery or medication. Using a small device, urologists can lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way, allowing for improved urine flow. The minimally invasive procedure can be performed in the office, typically completed in under an hour and has a quick recovery time. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days.
The UroLift® procedure is an ideal option for men who have not responded well to medication or who want to avoid the potential side effects of traditional surgery. It is also a good choice for men who want to maintain their sexual function, as the procedure is shown not to cause new and lasting erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction.
