Do you have trouble urinating or have you been diagnosed with BPH?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (hyperplasiaBPH) is a common, non-cancerous, condition that occurs when the prostate enlarges and obstructs urine flow. Our practice offers a minimally-invasive surgical procedure called HoLEP that can help treat BPH. The procedure uses a high-power laser to remove obstructive tissue from your prostate. Patients normally return home the same day and the recovery period is shorter when compared to other traditional prostate surgical methods.

If you are bothered by frequent urination, a slow urinary stream, a sensation of not emptying the bladder, or frequently getting up at night to urinate, ask your primary care provider if your prostate condition could benefit from the HoLEP procedure.
