Many men experience an enlarged prostate, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), as they age. This can lead to a variety of bothersome urinary symptoms that disrupt your daily routine and quality of life.

At Urology Specialists of Ohio, we understand the frustration and embarrassment associated with BPH. That's why we offer advanced diagnostic tools and a comprehensive range of treatment options, tailored to your unique needs.

Understanding BPH and its Impact

As men age, the prostate gland can enlarge, causing a blockage in the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder. This blockage leads to a variety of bothersome urinary symptoms, including:

• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak urine flow
• Frequent urination (including at night)
• Urgent need to urinate
• Inability to completely empty the bladder
• Blood in the urine

These symptoms can significantly impact a man's quality of life and overall well-being.

Beyond Medication: Exploring Minimally Invasive BPH Solutions

While medications are a common first-line approach, they may not always provide the desired relief or come with side effects you'd prefer to avoid. Here at Urology Specialists of Ohio, we proudly offer innovative, minimally invasive procedures that address the root cause of BPH without the drawbacks of traditional surgery.

UroLift® System: A Groundbreaking Approach

The UroLift® System represents a groundbreaking approach to BPH treatment. This minimally invasive procedure utilizes tiny implants strategically placed to lift and open the prostate passage, alleviating pressure on the urethra and restoring normal urinary flow.

Key Benefits:

• Outpatient Procedure: Typically performed in less than 30 minutes in an office setting.
• Rapid Recovery: Resume most activities quickly with minimal discomfort.
• Durable Results: Studies show sustained symptom relief for many years.
• Sexual Function Preservation: Unlike some BPH treatments, UroLift® helps maintain sexual function.

Aquablation: Precise Waterjet Technology for Lasting Relief

Aquablation is a state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes a high-velocity waterjet to precisely remove excess prostate tissue. This innovative approach offers several advantages:

• Targeted Treatment: Aquablation allows for the removal of specific prostate tissue causing obstruction, minimizing impact on healthy tissue.
• Reduced Risk: Studies suggest Aquablation offers a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgical approaches.
• Faster Recovery: Many patients experience a quicker recovery time with Aquablation compared to other procedures.
• Preservation of Sexual Function: Aquablation is designed to minimize the impact on nerves responsible for sexual function.

Traditional Surgical Options for Severe BPH

In some cases, minimally invasive procedures may not be suitable for severe BPH. Our experienced urologists can discuss traditional surgical options with you, such as:

• Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): This is the most common surgical procedure for BPH. A resectoscope is inserted through the urethra to remove prostate tissue blocking the urinary flow.
• Simple Prostatectomy: This surgery involves removing the entire inner portion of the prostate gland through an incision in the lower abdomen or perineum (the area between the scrotum and anus).

Redefining BPH Treatment: Partnering with You for Optimal Outcomes

We recognize that BPH is a personal concern, and every patient deserves individualized care. Our urologists will work closely with you to understand your specific symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Through a comprehensive evaluation, we'll determine the most effective approach to restore your urinary function and confidence.
