Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
What are the minimally invasive options for BPH?
What is the short answer?
Several treatments open the urine channel with small or no incisions.
UroLift holds tissue open with implants.
Where can I learn more?
Prostate artery embolization slows blood flow so the prostate shrinks.
Aquablation and laser surgery, called HoLEP or ThuLEP, remove more tissue through the urethra, with no cuts on the skin.
Each fits different prostate sizes and goals.
When should I make an appointment?
If pills aren't enough, schedule a visit to see which options fit you.
Asking about Rezum?
We don’t offer Rezum, in Conyers or at any of our offices. Our urologists provide other enlarged-prostate procedures, including UroLift, Aquablation and HoLEP laser surgery.

Where will I be seen?
Our Conyers Clinic at 1366 Wellbrook Circle Suite B, Conyers, GA 30012 is where we hold appointments, run lab work and do in-office tests, and we’d be happy to book you there.
How do our urologists approach this?
Our Conyers urologists match the procedure to your prostate and your goals. UroLift and prostate artery embolization are lighter options that fit many men. Aquablation, HoLEP and ThuLEP remove more tissue through the urethra. We measure your prostate’s size and shape and check how well your bladder works. Then we explain the tradeoffs of each option, including recovery time and possible changes to ejaculation.
What happens at a visit?
Your evaluation at our Conyers Clinic usually includes a urine test, a flow test and a bladder scan after you urinate, plus prostate imaging when needed. Bring a list of your medicines and the BPH pills you’ve tried.
How should I prepare?
Bring the BPH pills you’ve tried. Bring your medicine list too.
When should I call?
Call us if pills are causing side effects, your stream is weakening, or you’re getting up more often at night. Being unable to urinate at all is a reason for the ER.
