UNDERSTANDING BPH
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. Over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH symptoms so it is very common.[1]
BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, however it can greatly affect a man's quality of life.
As the prostate enlarges, it presses on and blocks the urethra, causing bothersome urinary symptoms such as:
Frequent need to urinate both day and night
Weak or slow urinary stream
A sense that you cannot completely empty your bladder
Difficulty or delay in starting urination
Urgent feeling of needing to urinate
A urinary stream that stops and starts
For nearly a quarter of men in Australia with BPH, their symptoms are severe enough to disrupt their lifestyle and cause them to seek treatment.[2]
UROLIFT® SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF BPH
The UroLift System is a new, minimally invasive approach to treating BPH for patients looking for an alternative to drug therapy or more invasive surgery.
The UroLift treatment is a straightforward procedure that produces immediate, visible results and rapid symptom relief. There is no cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue.
A unique benefit of the UroLift System is that it preserves a man's sexual function.[3] This is different from most BPH procedures and medications.
