How Does HIFU Treat BPH
HIFU for BPH is a 45 minute procedure where the physician selects and destroys only a portion of the tissue in the prostate. Since most symptoms and discomfort associated with BPH are a result of an enlarged prostate which squeezes the urethra, making urinating a normal voiding difficult, the urologist directly targets tissue near or around the urethra
For additional information about HIFU for BPH, call 1-866-553-1629 or speak to a HIFU physician in your area.
