Treatment Options For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Transurethral Needle Ablation

Transurethral needle ablation is a benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment that relies on radio waves. The equipment uses needles to transmit radio waves to prostate tissue. The radio waves heat the tissue until it is destroyed. Eventually, the prostate will shrink due to the procedure, and then there will be less construction around the urethra and bladder. This is an outpatient procedure, which means you do not have to undergo general anesthesia or spend the night in a hospital. Instead, you will just take a mild sedative that makes you sleepy and then get local anesthesia in the prostate area. It will take quite a few weeks to notice any results because the body will gradually break down prostate tissue after the procedure. It is quite effective for years afterward, and side effects like ejaculatory dysfunction are rare.
