UroLift
UroLift is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by lifting and holding the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra without cutting, heating, or removing tissue. It provides rapid symptom relief and helps men avoid lifelong medications or more invasive surgeries—all while preserving sexual function.
The UroLift System is a revolutionary treatment option for men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms due to an enlarged prostate (BPH). Rather than removing or vaporizing tissue, UroLift uses tiny implants to gently hold the enlarged prostate lobes apart—like curtain tie-backs—thereby opening the urethra and restoring natural urine flow.
The procedure is performed through the urethra in an outpatient setting, typically under local or light sedation. No incisions or heating are involved, which significantly reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery.
One of UroLift’s major benefits is its ability to preserve sexual function. Unlike traditional treatments such as TURP or laser ablation, UroLift does not damage surrounding structures that affect ejaculation or erection. Clinical studies show patients experience rapid symptom relief, often within 2 weeks, and sustained improvement for years.
UroLift is ideal for men who want to stop taking daily medications for BPH, who are not ready for more invasive surgery, or who want to minimize downtime and side effects.

It’s a great choice for men in the early stages of BPH progression or those hesitant about more aggressive treatments.
Recovery
UroLift is typically done in under an hour, and many patients go home the same day.
Catheterization: Usually not required, or only for 1 day.
Irritative symptoms: Temporary urgency or discomfort may occur for a few days.
Back to normal: Most men resume normal activity within 2–3 days.
Results: Noticeable improvement in flow and urinary symptoms within 1–2 weeks.
It’s one of the least disruptive procedures for BPH treatment available today.
