A complete assessment (uroflowmetry, ultrasound, endoscopy) allows for the selection of the technique best suited to your anatomy."},{"question":"What happens if the symptoms return?","answer":"The results are lasting for the majority of patients. In the event of a recurrence of symptoms after several years, a new minimally invasive treatment or a more complete clearing (laser) remains possible, without any loss of opportunity."},{"question":"Is it as effective as traditional surgical techniques (laser, TURP)?","answer":"Minimally invasive techniques such as UroLift\u00ae and Rezum\u2122 offer comparable improvement in urinary symptoms for the majority of patients with a moderately sized prostate. They have the advantage of being less aggressive, with faster recovery, little risk of bleeding, and, most importantly, almost always preserving sexual function. However, for very large prostates (over 80 ml), traditional laser surgery or endoscopic resection may still be more suitable."},{"question":"How long does the procedure take?","answer":"On average 15 to 30 minutes depending on the technique."},{"question":"Will I have to stay in the hospital?","answer":"In most cases, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis (discharge on the same day)."},{"question":"Will I be in pain after the operation?","answer":"The after-effects are usually straightforward. There may be some burning during urination, which can be relieved with appropriate treatment."},{"question":"Will I need a urinary catheter after the procedure?","answer":"UroLift\u00ae: generally no. Rezum\u2122: yes, a probe is required for an average of 5 days."},{"question":"Is sexuality preserved?","answer":"Yes, these techniques are designed to preserve erection and ejaculation, which is a major advantage compared to some traditional surgeries."},{"question":"Is this covered by Social Security?","answer":"Yes, these procedures are covered, possibly with additional coverage depending on the terms of your insurance or mutual insurance."}],"benarroche_sidebar_rdv_title":"","benarroche_doctor_band_title":"","benarroche_doctor_band_text":"","benarroche_doctor_band_points":null,"benarroche_doctor_band_image":"","benarroche_page_cta_title":"","benarroche_page_cta_text":"","benarroche_closing_highlights":null,"benarroche_blocks":[{"acf_fc_layout":"image_text_block","eyebrow":"","title":"Minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Objective: To preserve sexuality","content":"Understanding prostate adenoma","image":1726},{"acf_fc_layout":"image_text_block","eyebrow":"","title":"Minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): preserving sexuality","content":"Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate adenoma, is a common condition in men over 50. It involves a progressive increase in the size of the prostate gland, leading to urinary problems: more frequent urination, a weak stream, a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, nighttime awakenings, and even complications (acute urinary retention, infections, bladder stones, etc.). Why consider minimally invasive treatment? The goal: to preserve sexual function (erections and ejaculations).<\/strong> Traditionally, surgery (transurethral resection of the prostate, adenomectomy) is offered when medication is no longer sufficient. Minimally invasive techniques<\/strong> now offer an effective and less aggressive alternative to traditional surgery.
