Urinary Issues in Men (BPH)

 

BPH is a very common condition and is one of the leading reasons men visit a urologist. Whether you have just started experiencing symptoms or if you’ve tried various medications or even surgery, there is a range of treatment options available.


Before you visit with Dr. Pazona, you can read about BPH and the Urolift® treatment below to better understand your symptoms. Then, Dr. Pazona will discuss your symptoms with you to decide which treatment option is best for you.

What is BPH?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. BPH is a very common condition that affects over 40 million Americans and over 500 million aging men worldwide. Over 40% of men in their 50s and over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH¹. While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man’s quality of life.

As the prostate enlarges, it presses on and blocks the urethra, causing bothersome urinary symptoms such as:

  • Frequent need to urinate both day and night
  • Weak or slow urinary stream
  • A sense that you cannot completely empty your bladder
  • Difficulty or delay in starting urination
  • Urgent feeling of needing to urinate
  • A urinary stream that stops and starts

If you suffer from the above symptoms, you are not alone. BPH is the leading reason men visit a urologist.

What is UroLift®?

Treatment with the UroLift® System uses a minimally invasive approach that provides rapid relief and recovery of BPH symptoms. It is an earlier treatment option that can get men off BPH medications and avoid major surgery. The goal of the UroLift® System treatment is to relieve symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities.

The UroLift® System treatment has demonstrated a significant improvement in quality of life for patients compared to medications.

The UroLift® System is the only BPH procedure shown not to cause new and lasting erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction, while being a safe and effective treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH.

How Does It Work?

The UroLift® System uses a revolutionary approach to treating BPH that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. It is the only available BPH treatment performed by a urologist that does not require heating, cutting, or removal of the prostate tissue. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia in a physician’s office or ambulatory surgery center. Patients typically return home the same day without a catheter.

Why UroLift®?

The UroLift® System provides a proven treatment that can get men off BPH medications, which can make a person feel foggy and cause sexual dysfunction. Treatment with the UroLift® System has a risk profile better than surgical procedures that may have serious complications and a long, painful recovery.

From the check in at front desk to finishing up the outpatient procedure, I experienced friendliness, smiles, patient engagement, professionalism, comfort and top notch expertise from Dr. Pazona himself. I’d highly recommend this practice if the “patient experience” is tops on your list!

Dr Pazona and his staff were great. They made sure to put me at ease and I was able to play my own music during the procedure. Dr Pazona was very quick but it didn’t feel rushed. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He helped me stay relaxed and in a good mood the entire time.

Doctor Pazona was very professional, very friendly and was one of the most excellent, skilled and impressive doctors I’ve met. His staff was also very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the laughing gas as well. If you need a vasectomy I can’t imagine a better place in all honesty. Thanks Doc!

Absolutely incredible doctor. Doesn’t rush, and listens to your concerns and questions, a rarity in the modern medicine world. You could tell that he cared about his work and his patients. I had been very frustrated just trying to get seen due to lengthy wait times for appointments at other offices, then I found his office, which got me right in.

My first experience with Dr. Pazona was fantastic! His entire office staff was incredibly efficient and unlike most offices I did not have to wait for hours. The staff was engaging and friendly and right away Dr.Pazona came in to begin my appointment. I was treated as though he had all the time in the world. He truly wanted to hear my concerns and made sure that I understood all of my treatment options before I left his office. I give him the highest recommendation! So refreshing to know that there are doctors like him out there!
