Aquablation®: A Cutting-Edge Treatment for Enlarged Prostate
&srotate=0)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — which refers to a condition in which the male prostate gland becomes enlarged — is common in men over the age of 50. Fortunately, there are many effective treatments for BPH available today, though some have a high incidence of adverse side effects, including incontinence and sexual dysfunction. This deters many men from ever pursuing treatment for their BPH, which can lead to worsening symptoms and a poorer quality of life overall.
At Kasraeian Urology in Jacksonville, FL, our board-certified urologists, Dr. Ali Kasraeian and Dr. Ahmad Kasraeian, understand how disruptive BPH symptoms can be, as well as the hesitation you may feel in seeking treatment or even discussing your condition — and we are here to help. With modern BPH treatment options, like Aquablation, you can achieve relief from BPH without sacrificing your sexual function or continence. Here, you'll find more information about the exciting benefits of Aquablation for BPH.
How do I know if I need BPH treatment?
One of the best ways to know whether you are a candidate for Aquablation or BPH treatment, in general, is to schedule a consultation and evaluation with one of our urologists. Still, there are several signs and symptoms of BPH you can keep an eye out for that may mean you have an enlarged prostate, including:
- Difficult urination
- Pushing or straining to urinate
- Spraying urinary stream
- Painful urination
- Dribbling urine
- Incontinence
- Urgency or frequency
- Frequent nighttime urination
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment to learn more about our full range of BPH treatment choices, including Aquablation.
What is Aquablation BPH treatment?
Aquablation is a cutting-edge BPH procedure that utilizes a heat-free, high-pressure jet stream of water to safely, gently, and effectively destroy excess prostate tissue responsible for BPH symptoms. One of the primary benefits of Aquablation vs. other BPH surgeries is the precision that's possible with Aquablation. Prior to the prostatic ablation, the prostate is mapped with ultrasound imaging, which allows Dr. Kasraeian to remove only the targeted areas of tissue — leaving the remainder of the prostate gland intact. This greatly reduces the risk of side effects after BPH treatment, like urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction (ED).
What are the chances of side effects after Aquablation?
Because traditional BPH treatments have historically been associated with a high risk of side effects, many men are shocked to learn that Aquablation offers the opportunity to treat their enlarged prostate symptoms with virtually zero risk of incontinence or sexual dysfunction. In fact, 99% of men report no problems with incontinence after Aquablation, while no men experienced an impact on their sexual health — including erectile function, libido, and overall sexual satisfaction. This makes Aquablation a highly popular option for men who are looking for a BPH treatment with the lowest risk of side effects and optimal relief.
