What is the Main Treatment for BPH?

Various treatment options are available for managing BPH. Your physician may recommend medications or possibly invasive surgical procedures to alleviate symptoms. 

However, some medications can have undesirable side effects, including sexual performance issues affecting ejaculation or cause erectile dysfunction (ED), and may be associated with other health conditions like heart failure, dementia, or diabetes. 

Several revolutionary procedural treatments can improve the quality of life with minimal side effects for those who prefer to avoid medications, post-op catheters, or trauma to the urethra.
