Treatment Options for Enlarged Prostate



One of the most important things to understand about BPH is that you have options. Our urologists take time to discuss the full range of treatments available and help each patient choose the approach that best fits their symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Treatment options range from medication management and minimally invasive office procedures to advanced surgical techniques.


For patients who prefer or require a surgical approach, our team offers GreenLight Laser therapy, which uses laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue; TURP, the long-established surgical gold standard for BPH; UroLift, a minimally invasive implant procedure that holds enlarged prostate tissue aside without cutting or heat; and Aquablation, a robotic, image-guided waterjet therapy that removes prostate tissue with precision while preserving sexual function. Each of these procedures is performed by our board-certified urologists with extensive experience in prostate care.
