00:00Have you ever wondered how doctors treat an enlarged prostate without major surgery?
00:04Today, let's take a look at two modern treatments that don't require cutting,
00:08stitches, or long recovery times. Steam therapy, also called Resume, and the UroLift system.
00:15Let's start with steam therapy, known as Resume. This treatment works by injecting small bursts of
00:21heated steam directly into the prostate. The steam destroys the extra tissue that's pressing
00:26on the urethra and making it hard to urinate. Over the next few weeks, your body naturally
00:32absorbs the treated tissue. As that happens, the pressure on the bladder starts to ease,
00:37and you may notice fewer nighttime bathroom trips and an easier flow overall.
00:42The other option is called UroLift. In this procedure, small implants are placed inside
00:47the prostate to gently pull the enlarged tissue away from the urethra. This opens up the passage
00:53and makes it easier for urine to flow. What makes this treatment stand out? No tissue removal,
00:59no incision.
