An enlarged prostate, medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can turn the simple act of peeing into a mission. Imagine you’re trying to plunge a stubbornly clogged sink. You push the plunger down with all your might, but the water level barely changes. Enlarge prostate can squeeze the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder, leading to urinary problems. Left treated, it can also cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems.
UroLift is the only procedure for BPH that avoids cutting, heating, or tissue removal and is performed under local anaesthesia. It is the latest treatment for enlarged prostate, received approval from the US FDA in 2013 and was approved by UK NICE in 2015. Here, you will get a detailed understanding of what the UroLift Procedure is, how it works, the benefits and what is the recovery period.

Full recovery, where all symptoms have subsided and normal urinary function is restored, generally occurs within 1 to 2 weeks after the UroLift procedure. It’s important for patients to follow their healthcare provider’s post-procedure instructions, which may include avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a short period to optimize recovery.
UroLift is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, so discomfort is minimal during the procedure. Mild urinary symptoms post-procedure usually resolves quickly.
