Despite the fact that awareness of the condition is low, enlarged prostate is the most common health problem that men experience nationwide. The approximately 185,000 area men who may suffer from symptoms of an enlarged prostate now have access to the FDA approved Targis treatment, a 90-minute procedure that offers patients an effective BPH treatment in an outpatient setting without the side effects of drugs or the risks associated with surgery.
Symptoms can be mild to very disruptive to patients' quality of life.
As well as cause discomfort, this condition can disrupt your entire life with multiple trips to the bathroom day and night. Using the Targis treatment's clinically proven technology, we can now provide safe, effective treatment for an enlarged prostate that restores patients' quality of life. Unlike previously introduced non-surgical treatments, the Targis treatment delivers heat to the diseased section of the prostate while cooling the surrounding healthy tissue, helping to maintain patient comfort during the procedure, according to Dr. Telang. He noted that other alternative BPH treatments have only had moderate success, due to patient discomfort or lack of long-term durability.
