What is the UroLift® System?
The UroLift® System treatment is a revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to treating an enlarged prostate, or BPH, that lifts or holds 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.
FAQs
-
Is a drainage tube fitted afterward?

-
Will this affect my sex life?
Sexual side effects like retrograde ejaculation or erectile difficulty are notably rare with this approach, unlike some alternative treatments available.
-
How long does the procedure take?
Roughly a quarter of an hour.
-
When can I return to normal activities?
Most people find themselves back to their usual routine within about a week.

Will I need further treatment down the line?
A meaningful proportion, somewhere around 1 in 8, find symptoms haven't fully cleared and need something further done within a 5-year window.

Does this suit every case of an enlarged gland?
