Many patients only need the relaxation medicine and the urethral jelly. Or the doctor may numb the entire prostate area. In some cases, spinal or general anesthesia is used, but only when necessary. The procedure generally takes about 45 minutes. You should relax and take it easy when you get home.
Most patients are able to return to normal activities the next day.
A patient will usually notice improvement within 2-6 weeks. However, results may vary depending on the severity, duration, and size of the prostate treated. For more information or a physician referral in your area, please contact us.
