Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among older men and often leads to distressing urinary symptoms. These include difficulty starting urination, frequent urges, dribbling, and a weak stream that disrupts daily life. If left untreated, BPH can result in more serious complications, such as damage to the bladder or kidneys. Traditional treatments involve medication or surgery, both of which can be expensive and have side effects. UroLift offers an effective, minimally invasive alternative with fewer risks and faster recovery. UroLift treatment in Tucson, Arizona is now available for patients seeking relief without major surgery.

Many older men experience benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate gland enlargement. When a man experiences this condition, he will experience many uncomfortable urinary symptoms. These include:

  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Dribbling
  • Frequent need to urinate
  • Increased need to urinate at night
  • Weak urine stream
  • Persistent discomfort in the bladder
  • Inability to completely empty the bladder

When left untreated, BPH can cause serious bladder, kidney, or urinary tract problems. Prescription medicine and invasive surgical procedures can be used to treat this condition. However, these are quite costly and may not work for all men.
