BPH is extra prostate tissue that can affect your ability to urinate properly. Symptoms include extra urgency, irregular flow, weak stream, straining and frequent night visits. BPH Therapy is a safe, effective alternative, with a simple out-patient therapy, applying the stored thermal energy in water vapour (steam) to the extra prostate tissue.
BPH Therapy is for men with prostatic urethra lengths > 2.0cm and prostate volumes > 20cm3. It can also be used to treat prostates with a median lobe or elevated central zone tissue.
