Aquablation: A Revolutionary Treatment for Prostate Enlargement
Introduction:
As men age, many experience symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate enlargement. This condition can lead to troubling urinary symptoms, including frequent urination, a weak urine stream, and difficulty emptying the bladder. For years, treatments like medications and invasive surgeries were the standard options, often coming with significant side effects. However, Aquablation, a cutting-edge and minimally invasive procedure, has revolutionized how BPH is treated, offering men relief with fewer risks. Mr. Sonpreet Rai, a leading urologist in London and Milton Keynes, provides expert Aquablation services.
What is Aquablation?
Aquablation is a unique, water-based robotic therapy that precisely removes excess prostate tissue to relieve the symptoms of BPH. Unlike traditional methods that use heat (like laser or electrical energy), Aquablation uses a high-velocity water jet that is controlled by robotic technology. The procedure is guided by real-time imaging, allowing for maximum precision in tissue removal, while minimizing the risk of damaging surrounding structures like nerves that control urinary and sexual function.
How Aquablation Works:
Real-Time Ultrasound: Aquablation relies on advanced ultrasound guidance to visualize the prostate during surgery.
Robotic Precision: A robotically controlled water jet precisely removes the enlarged prostate tissue, reducing human error and improving accuracy.
Custom Treatment: The procedure is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring only the necessary tissue is removed.
Key Benefits of Aquablation:
Minimal Risk of Side Effects: Traditional surgeries for BPH, such as TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), come with a higher risk of complications like incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Aquablation’s precision greatly reduces these risks.
Faster Recovery: Most men can return to normal activities within a few days, with full recovery within weeks.
Long-Term Relief: Aquablation provides significant, long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms, improving the quality of life.
Is Aquablation Right for You?
Aquablation is suitable for men with moderate to severe BPH who have not responded well to medications or prefer to avoid invasive surgery. It’s especially beneficial for men with larger prostates, where traditional methods may be less effective.
