As men get older, it’s common for the prostate to grow. When it does, it can make urination more difficult and uncomfortable. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. Medications and traditional surgeries can help, but they may cause side effects and aren’t right for every prostate size. Aquablation therapy offers a newer option to treat BPH with accuracy and fewer risks.

What Is Aquablation Therapy?

Aquablation therapy uses a heat-free waterjet to treat enlarged prostates. Guided by real-time ultrasound imaging, physicians precisely remove prostatic tissue. This approach provides reliable results for many prostate sizes. By avoiding heat, the procedure helps protect surrounding structures and reduces the chance of unwanted side effects.

Who Is Aquablation for?

Aquablation therapy is designed for men experiencing urinary symptoms caused by BPH. As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra — the tube that carries urine out of the body — making it harder for the bladder to empty fully. This can lead to frustrating, often disruptive symptoms. You may be a good candidate for Aquablation if you’re dealing with symptoms such as:

  • Feeling like your bladder doesn’t empty completely
  • Sudden urges to urinate
  • Needing to pee every 1 – 2 hours
  • Difficulty starting your flow or needing to push or strain
  • A weak or slow urine stream
  • Waking up multiple times at night to urinate

What Are the Benefits?

Aquablation therapy can give long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms and help improve your urine flow. Because of its heat‑free technology, it lowers the risk of side effects and is beneficial because it:

  • Improves urine flow
  • Helps protect sexual function
  • Reduces BPH symptoms
  • Works for many prostate sizes
  • Lowers the risk of incontinence
  • Provides long-lasting results
