AQUABLATION THERAPY
Aquablation Therapy is a cutting-edge medical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in aging men characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland. This minimally invasive technique harnesses the power of robotics and high-velocity waterjets to precisely remove excess prostate tissue that is causing urinary obstruction
ASK YOUR DOCTOR
How big is my prostate, what is the measurement?
Does my prostate have a lobe protruding into the bladder?
Will I maintain sexual function and get significant symptom relief with medications or other procedures?
aDvantages
Aquablation Therapy provides precise and effective removal of excess prostate tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding structures. This precision reduces the risk of complications commonly associated with traditional surgical methods, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
Additionally, Aquablation Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure, resulting in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times for patients. The reduced risk of complications, coupled with its minimally invasive nature, makes it an attractive option for men seeking relief from BPH-related urinary symptoms while maintaining their overall quality of life.
aftermath
Following Aquablation Therapy, patients can expect several common after-effects. In the initial days after the procedure, it's typical to experience temporary changes in urinary function, including increased frequency, urgency, and possibly a weak stream. Patients may also notice some blood in their urine, which is usually short-lived and clears up over time. While discomfort or mild pain is possible, it is generally manageable with pain medications and typically subsides within a few days.
Patients should expect gradual improvement in urinary symptoms over the weeks following the procedure as the body heals. It's crucial for individuals to stay in close contact with their healthcare providers during this period to monitor their progress and address any concerns that may arise during the recovery process.
