UroLift System Treatment

Treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with UroLift System Treatment

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. BPH is a very common condition that affects over 42 million men in the US1 and over 660 million aging men worldwide. Over 40% of men in their 50s and over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH. While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man’s quality of life. As the prostate enlarges, it presses on and blocks the urethra, causing bothersome urinary symptoms. If left untreated, BPH can lead to permanent bladder damage.

Symptoms include:

  • Frequent need to urinate both day and night
  • Weak or slow urinary stream
  • A sense that you cannot completely empty your bladder
  • Difficulty or delay in starting urination
  • Urgent feeling of needing to urinate
  • A urinary stream that stops and starts


Symptoms of BPH can cause loss of productivity, depression, and decreased quality of life.

How Does the UroLift Treatment Work

The distinction of this treatment is that it preserves tissue. UroLift improves urine flow by compressing normal tissue that is obstructing the urethra. It is the only BPH therapy on the market that a urologist can administer without invasively treating the prostate tissue. A local anesthetic is often used during the surgery.

Find Out If UroLift Is Right for You

Your doctor will give you more specific information about the treatment if you and your doctor determine that the UroLift® System is the best option for you. The UroLift System is a minimally invasive procedure that generally requires little recovery time. 


Permanent implants using the UroLift Delivery Device remove the obstruction pressing against your urethra. The process typically lasts an hour and is conducted under local or general anesthesia.
