UroLift
UroLift
A new, less-invasive treatment option for enlarged prostate.
Over half of men over 60 have symptoms of enlarged prostate
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects many men, particularly as they age. Common symptoms include:
- Frequent urination
- Weak or interrupted urine flow
- Urgent need to urinate
- Difficulty emptying bladder completely
- Waking up at night to urinate
- Straining to void
UroLift is a less-invasive treatment option
While traditional surgeries and medications are options for treating BPH, they aren’t right for everybody. The UroLift provides an alternative.
The UroLift system is a medical implant designed to relieve the symptoms of BPH by pulling back the tissue surrounding the urethra. While the device is inserted by a surgeon, it is a less-invasive procedure with no incisions, cutting, or removal of tissue.
The best part of the UroLift system is that results are immediate, making it a great option for those who want symptom relief as soon as possible.

How do I know if I have BPH?
By taking the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), you and your urologist can better understand the severity of your BPH symptoms. Take our BPH Quiz to determine your score and a treatment plan best for you!

If you are dealing with the symptoms of BPH, you don’t have to ‘just deal with it’. The team at West Jefferson Urology is here to help.
We’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. If you are looking to discontinue or avoid BPH medication, UroLift may be a great option for you.
