UroLift Treatment for BPH in Tampa FL
Helping provide men in Tampa with relief from enlarged prostate
UroLift is an in-office procedure that can be performed at our office in Tampa under local anesthesia. During the outpatient procedure, a camera and scope are used to deliver small implants through a needle that lift and hold the enlarged prostate out of the way. There is no cutting or destruction of prostatic tissue. Because of this, it has the least amount of sexual side effects compared to other treatments or surgical procedures and has minimal downtime.
The board certified urologists at Florida Sex Health are highly trained and perform several UroLift procedures every month. If you live in Tampa and are interested in options for minimally invasive treatments for BPH, call (813) 821-8035 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Justin Parker and Dr. Rafael Carrion today!
