Transurethral Microwave Thermotherapy - TUMT

The Prolieve Thermodilation System Treatment

San Fernando Valley Urological has several ways to treat enlarged prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).  One of them is the Prolieve Thermodilation System Treatment.  This less invasive treatment is performed in the office and requires no general anesthesia or incisions.  Requiring only a local anesthetic gel, this 45-minute treatment is designed to relieve pressure on the prostatic urethra, resulting in an improvement in urine flow.  During the procedure, a balloon attached to a catheter opens up the prostatic urethra while microwave heat reduces the enlarged tissue of your prostate. In the clinical trial for Prolieve, the majority of men left without a catheter and experience few post-treatment complications or sexual side effects during the trials.

The Prolieve System is FDA approved.  The Prolieve System’s design and operating protocol were investigated in clinical studies of other men suffering from BPH.  The results showed the Prolieve System is safe and effective.

Your physician will evaluate you to see if you are a candidate for this therapy and decide if the Prolieve Thermodilation  System is right for you.
