About Prostiva RF Therapy
Many men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) don’t want to take medication every day. Yet they also don’t want to risk the incontinence and impotence that can result from surgery. Radio frequency (RF) therapy is a safe, convenient alternative that has been shown in clinical studies to reduce many symptoms of BPH for up to 5 years.
At some point, you may decide you no longer want to take daily BPH medication, but you also don’t want to risk the potential side effects of invasive surgery for your enlarged prostate. Medtronic’s pioneering Prostiva® RF therapy offers a safe alternative that reduces frequent urination and other BPH symptoms for up to 5 years. Treatment with RF Therapy is associated with few side effects and adverse events.
What Is It?
If you have an enlarged prostate, excess prostate tissue may “squeeze” your urethra. This can cause uncomfortable and inconvenient urinary symptoms, including frequent urination, a sudden need to urinate, or straining. Radio frequency therapy (RF Therapy) uses low-level radio frequency energy to destroy excess prostate tissue, allowing you to urinate more normally.
RF Therapy is a safe, single-event treatment for BPH. This minimally-invasive BPH treatment can be performed in your doctor’s office. There’s no hospital stay, and no need for general anesthesia.
