Q. What options does a man have to relieve the symptoms of BPH?
A. When BPH symptoms cause embarrassment, sleep disruption or unwanted lifestyle changes, your physician can counsel you on the appropriate treatment for your symptoms and lifestyle. Choosing the right treatment to relieve BPH symptoms is a personal preference. Each treatment may improve symptoms, but each has different risks, complications, and chances of success. It is important to evaluate your symptoms, your BPH treatment choices, and the impact of each on your lifestyle. You should discuss your symptoms and treatment concerns with your doctor.
Treatment options for BPH range from daily drug therapy to invasive surgical procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Over the past decade, minimally invasive therapies such as PROSTIVA RF Therapy have become available to treat the symptoms of BPH with a one-time treatment proven to reduce symptoms for up to 5 years 1,2 that your physician can do right in his office.
