First steps

Small changes come first.

Cutting back on fluids in the evening, and on caffeine and alcohol, can ease nighttime and daytime urgency for some men.

Medicines

Medicines are the next step for many men.

Alpha blockers relax the prostate and bladder neck, while finasteride and dutasteride slowly shrink the gland. Our urologists explain what each may do and the side effects to watch for.

Procedures

When pills fall short, procedures can open the channel.

UroLift: tiny implants pull the prostate tissue aside; nothing is removed.
HoLEP and ThuLEP: a laser removes the tissue that blocks urine flow.
TURP: the blocking tissue is removed through the urethra.
PAE: our interventional radiologists slow the prostate’s blood supply so it shrinks. Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)

Many of these are outpatient procedures in our surgery center at 11660 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 700, Roswell, GA 30076. Each carries risks, which we review with you first.

Our urologists look at your symptoms, a urine flow test, what is left in the bladder afterward and the size of your prostate, along with what you prefer about recovery and sexual side effects.
