Urinary Conditions Caused by BPH
This common condition makes it difficult to urinate as the prostate grows and constricts the flow of urine from the bladder to the urethra. Other problems of the urinary system can also occur as the result of an enlarged prostate, such as:
- An inflamed prostate
- Frequent urinary tract infections
- Kidney stones
- Bladder stones
- Scarring of the bladder tissue
- Urinary retention
- Nerve damage near the bladder
- Prostate cancer
- Bladder cancer
How UroLift Works
During a simple hospital procedure, Dr. Siddiq will use the UroLift Delivery Device to insert UroLift Implants around the prostate. These implants work to lift the prostate and pull the edges of the prostate away from the urethra, leaving it open for improved urinary flow.
Benefits of the UroLift System
UroLift possesses many advantages over traditional treatment methods, the primary being that no cuts or sutures are required with UroLift. A local anesthetic is typically all that patients need during their insertion procedure, and they can often return home soon after they are treated for BPH.
Results of UroLift are also long lasting. No maintenance is needed, which gives patients the ability to quickly return to their regular activities with renewed control over their urinary system.
