Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Which enlarged prostate procedure is right for me?
What is the short answer?
It depends on three things: your prostate's size and shape, how well your bladder works, and what matters most to you, such as keeping ejaculation or a fast recovery.
UroLift and prostate artery embolization are lighter options that fit many men.
Where can I learn more?
Aquablation, HoLEP, and ThuLEP remove the tissue that blocks the flow.
Robotic surgery is kept for very large prostates and unique cases.
Testing like ultrasound and a flow test guides the match.
When should I make an appointment?
Get evaluated if you have a weak stream, nighttime trips, or BPH pills aren't enough.
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?
Choosing a BPH procedure is a shared decision, and our Conyers urologists give you the details you need. We start with testing, including ultrasound and a flow study, to learn your prostate’s size and shape and how well your bladder works. Then we ask what you care about most, such as keeping ejaculation, a quick recovery or the longest-lasting result. Each option is explained against those priorities.
What happens at a visit?
Plan on testing plus a conversation. Bring your medicine list, the BPH pills you’ve tried and any earlier imaging. We’ll lay out the choices that fit you and answer every question before you decide.
When should I call?
Call us if your symptoms change while you’re deciding, or you’d like a second visit to talk it over with family. If no urine will come, the ER is the place to go.
