Understanding Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects many men as they age. As the prostate grows, it can press on the urethra and make it difficult to urinate. Common symptoms include frequent trips to the bathroom, weak urine flow, trouble starting or stopping urination, and waking up at night to urinate. BPH can significantly impact daily life, making work, travel, sleep, and social activities more challenging. Explore this blog from Griffin Urologist Dr. Johnson Tsui to discover more about BPH.

“My name is Howard, I’m a 68 year old retired police officer, and I'm an Aquablation Therapy patient. I first noticed I was having problems urinating about 15 years ago, I tried medication, lifestyle changes, I had the prostatic artery embolization done twice, nothing worked. The medications were causing more harm than good. Urgencies got worse, I couldn’t walk around the mall without knowing where the nearest bathroom is. I felt like Aquablation was a failsafe system, you not only have the doctor’s talent, but the robot to help control the high-pressure water. I pee like a garden hose now, I don’t have any sexual side effects, I sleep better through the night, I have control of my bladder, I can go to a restaurant without having to excuse myself a couple of times to go to the bathroom. I would recommend Aquablation to anybody who has [BPH] symptoms, I’m very thankful I had this procedure done. ”

Advanced Treatment for BPH

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can make everyday life uncomfortable, Aquablation offers a highly effective treatment option. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and is performed in the hospital using a minimally invasive approach. Most patients return home the next day and begin noticing improvement in their urinary symptoms within the following weeks.

Because Aquablation uses a heat-free waterjet guided by robotic precision and real-time imaging, it can remove the tissue causing obstruction while helping protect surrounding structures. This approach is designed to maintain normal urinary control and reduce the likelihood of certain sexual side effects sometimes associated with traditional prostate procedures.

Introducing Aquablation: Precision Treatment for BPH

Aquablation therapy is an effective, and clinically proven option for men experiencing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. It can treat prostates of any size or shape.

Unlike traditional surgery, Aquablation removes the tissue causing symptoms without any external incisions, using a minimally invasive approach.

What makes Aquablation unique is its robotic, heat-free waterjet technology. This innovative method precisely targets and removes excess prostate tissue, reducing the risk of side effects often associated with traditional treatments.

The AquaBeam Robotic System

Aquablation is performed using the AquaBeam Robotic System, the first robotic platform designed specifically for BPH treatment. It combines real-time imaging, personalized treatment planning, and automated robotics to safely and accurately remove prostate tissue.

During the procedure, the surgeon can see the prostate in detail using both high resolution internal camera and ultrasound imaging, allowing for high precision, consistent results, and predictable relief from symptoms, no matter the size of your prostate.
