[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 6738, member: 3"] That link I showed also described this technique: Miami urologists Dr. David Robbins and Dr. Amery Wirtshafter are proud to offer their patients a minimally invasive office-based option for the treatment of BPH. TherMatrx® Office Thermo Therapy™ is a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment for relief of enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It will help relieve enlarged prostate symptoms and restore your quality of life. Best of all, a single treatment administered in your urologist's office can provide long-lasting symptom relief. No cutting or incision is needed. Instead, the urologist temporarily inserts a small, flexible catheter into the urethra; the system begins to work by slowly raising the temperature in a very specific area of the prostate. This causes changes in the prostate tissue that results in increased urine flow. The symptoms associated with your enlarged prostate begin to improve within six weeks as you begin to improve your overall quality of life. For most men, a single treatment is effective for long-term relief. The Procedure A small, flexible catheter is inserted into the urethra, the canal that carries urine from the bladder. After it is placed, the system will begin to work by slowly raising the temperature in a very specific area of the prostate. The TherMatrx® system continuously measures the prostate temperature and ensures you are given the optimal “dose” of heat. When the treatment is complete, the doctor will remove the treatment catheter. A urine drainage catheter may be required for two to five days after treatment. This catheter will ensure that urine can pass during the immediate post-treatment healing period. The entire procedure takes approximately 40-60 minutes. Typically, patients will see improvement in their enlarged prostate symptoms between six weeks and twelve weeks after their treatment with TherMatrx.
