Causes, Symptoms, And Treatments Of An Enlarged Prostate

Minimally Invasive Treatments

Minimally invasive procedures can be done in a doctor’s office and do not involve surgery. Transurethral needle ablation or TUNA is a procedure that destroys prostate tissues to relieve symptoms and increase urine flow by heating prostate tissue with high-frequency radio waves inserted by needles directly in the gland. A stent, or a tiny metal coil, can be inserted into the urethra to widen it and keep it open to allow proper urine flow. Many doctors do not like using stents because a stent can shift positions and worsen the condition.
