Aquablation® Therapy
Aquablation® Therapy
IMP is dedicated to providing innovative solutions for men dealing with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a common condition characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to uncomfortable urinary symptoms.
Aquablation® Therapy offers a minimally invasive and highly effective treatment option designed to provide exceptional results and help improve your quality of life.
Why Choose Aquablation® Therapy?
Aquablation® Therapy can help relieve bothersome symptoms associated with BPH, including:
- Frequent urination
- Weak urinary stream
- Difficulty emptying your bladder
Where Is the Procedure Performed?
Aquablation® Therapy is performed in a hospital under anesthesia.
- The procedure typically takes less than one hour.
- Most patients stay in the hospital overnight following the procedure.
What Can I Expect After the Procedure?
After undergoing Aquablation® Therapy for BPH, you will wake up with a catheter to help drain your bladder while your urethra heals.
In most cases:
- Patients stay in the hospital for one night.
- The catheter is removed before discharge.
If you are unable to urinate on your own after the catheter is removed, you may:
- Go home with a catheter for a few days, or
- Stay in the hospital for an additional night.
Many patients are able to leave the hospital without a catheter.
After returning home, it is common to experience mild burning during urination for a couple of weeks. This discomfort can usually be managed with mild pain medication.
When Can I Resume Normal Activities?
You may resume your normal daily activities once your doctor has cleared you to do so.
