St. Johns Man First to Use New Prostate Treatment Tech
A man from St. Johns is among the first in the region to receive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) using a groundbreaking new technology. The procedure, performed recently, utilizes the HYDROS Robotic System, offering a non-invasive approach to managing the common condition affecting men.
The treatment involves a technique called Aquablation. Aquablation precisely removes excess prostate tissue causing BPH symptoms, without the need for traditional surgery. This minimizes potential complications and recovery time for patients.
BPH, or enlarged prostate, is a condition where the prostate gland increases in size, often causing urinary problems like frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and a weak stream. It affects many men as they age. The traditional treatments for BPH can include medication or surgery. The HYDROS Robotic System and Aquablation treatment offer a less invasive alternative.
The HYDROS Robotic System offers a targeted approach, using water pressure to reshape the prostate and relieve symptoms. The procedure aims to improve urinary flow and reduce related discomfort for patients suffering from BPH. Medical professionals are optimistic about the potential of this technology to improve the quality of life for men facing this widespread condition.
