There are a wide range of treatments available to treat BPH. The MIST category of BPH treatments includes procedures that can be done right in the doctor’s office to eliminate excess prostate tissue.
It is important to be well-informed before choosing the correct BPH treatment for you. Below, you will find a list of minimally invasive therapy options, which are established as potential options for many men suffering from the symptoms of BPH.
Beginning with one of the most popular BPH treatments, Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical therapy that uses the natural energy stored in water vapor, or steam, to shrink enlarged prostates caused by BPH. It eliminates excess prostate tissue that is pressing on the urethra to improve the flow of urine.
The Rezūm therapy uses steam delivered directly into swollen prostate tissue to ablate and reduce prostate size and release pressure on the urethra and permit normal urinary function. It does not require any incisions, anesthesia, or permanent implants.
Additionally, Rezūm therapy has a short recovery period of only a couple of days. Patients can be expected to resume their normal activities soon after their procedure. It relieves symptoms safely and effectively, with an expected impact of many years.
Transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT) is an outpatient procedure to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It is generally used for men with small to moderate sized prostates.
A small microwave antenna is inserted through the tip of your penis into the urethra. The doctor extends the antenna until it reaches the area of the urethra surrounded by the prostate. The antenna emits a dose of microwave energy that heats and destroys excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow.
TUMT can be a good option for men who take medication to thin their blood or who have a bleeding disorder that does not allow their blood to clot normally. It is generally done on an outpatient basis and might be a safer option if you have certain other health problems.
The UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive treatment that fills the gap between prescription medications and more invasive surgical procedures. Treatment with this system is typically a one-time in-office solution that provides rapid relief and recovery of BPH symptoms.
UroLift is a safe, highly effective procedure that involves no cutting, heating, or removal of prostate tissue. It does not negatively impact sexual function, an issue frequently associated with other BPH therapies. Preservation of sexual function is a unique benefit of the UroLift.
The Zenflow Spring System is an investigational minimally invasive treatment for BPH currently undergoing clinical trials. While it is still in the clinical study stage, it has already had promising outcomes with respect to patient symptom relief, urinary flow, and preservation of sexual function.
The device keeps the urethra opened, which improves the flow of urine. The treatment is gentle on patients, with no burning sensation, incisions, or piercing of tissue with very minimal bleeding. Patients have experienced relief from symptoms in a matter of days.
Here at Steinberg Urology, we offer all of the above minimally invasive treatments for BPH. These are low risk treatments that offer patients effective relief from BPH symptoms.
