If you have BPH, there are several ways of treating it. Many patients develop scar tissue which can lead to more surgery in the future. Thermotherapy uses heat energy from microwaves to shrink the enlarged prostate. For many patients, this non-surgical procedure is a welcome treatment alternative. It does not require anesthesia or a hospital stay.
Most patients can return to normal activities on the next day.
