Скачать или смотреть UPP 106: Struggling to Urinate? How Aquablation Helps Prostate Blockage

In this episode of UroPatient, host Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, explains how Aquablation therapy is helping men find relief from prostate blockage caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH.

An enlarged prostate can lead to frustrating and disruptive symptoms such as weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, frequent nighttime bathroom trips, incomplete bladder emptying, and urinary retention. For many men, medications may stop working—or cause unwanted side effects.

Aquablation is a minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure that uses a high-pressure, heat-free water jet to precisely remove prostate tissue blocking urine flow. Unlike traditional prostate surgeries, Aquablation relies on real-time ultrasound and robotic mapping, allowing the surgeon to target only the tissue causing obstruction.

In this video, you’ll learn:
What Aquablation is and how it works

Who may be a good candidate for Aquablation therapy

How Aquablation differs from TURP, laser, and other BPH treatments

Potential benefits, including symptom relief and preservation of sexual function

What recovery typically looks like after the procedure

Aquablation is FDA-cleared and may be an option for men with moderate to severe BPH, including those with larger prostates. As with any medical treatment, it’s important to discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives with a qualified healthcare provider.
