Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Treatments

Prostate Resection: A Solution for Urinary Function Disruption

When it comes to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), one of the most common issues individuals face is the disruption of normal urinary function. Thankfully, there is a procedure known as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) that can effectively alleviate this problem. During this procedure, a small scope is inserted into the urethra by the doctor to remove the prostate, leaving only the outer portion of the gland intact. With TURP being a standard surgical approach, it guarantees prompt results, swiftly improving urine flow. However, recovery often necessitates the use of a catheter for a day or two.


Transurethral Needle Ablation: An Alternative for BPH Symptom Relief

Looking for an effective way to alleviate symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)? Consider Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA). This innovative procedure involves the use of a scope to insert needles into the prostate gland. These needles emit radio waves, generating heat that targets and eliminates the enlarged portion of the prostate. With its minimally invasive nature, TUNA proves to be a suitable option for individuals with pre-existing conditions. However, it’s important to note that symptom improvement may not be immediate and could take some time.
