That is the number of men worldwide who suffer from symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), such as difficulty urinating, frequency to urinate – day and night, weak or slow urinary stream or at times, a sense of pain while urinating.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men age. Over 70 percent of men in their 60s have BPH symptoms. While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man’s quality of life.
Based on your individual needs, Samaritan Urology offers minimally invasive techniques like Rezum Therapy and the UroLift System to help treat BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia). These techniques are alternatives to drug therapy or more invasive surgery.
Rezum uses natural water vapor to reduce the size of the prostate and provide lasting symptom relief without invasive surgery or some of the potential side effects of prescription drugs.
UroLift is a straightforward procedure that utilizes tiny implants to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra. There is no cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue.
An in-office treatment, Rezum uses natural water vapor or steam to reduce the size of the prostate and provide lasting symptom relief without invasive surgery or some of the potential side effects of prescription drugs.

Small, permanent implants are placed into the prostate to lift and hold the enlarged tissue out of the way, relieving pressure on the urethra and allowing urine to flow. There is no cutting, heating, or removal of prostate tissue required which means a minimally invasive, straightforward procedure and less downtime.
The small UroLift implant is made from commonly used implantable materials. Typically, four implants are used per patient.
