Anyone know anything about this? Its a new non invasive treatment for enlarged prostate/BPH.
A client of mine says his Urologist is raving about it and wants to treat him with it.

Anyone with experience or knowledge about it, comments appreciated.

It's new. Debulks the prostate. It uses RF energy to convert drops of water to steam which is injected into excess prostate tissue which then dies and is absorbed into the body. The claim is minimal SEs and fast recovery time plus being effective for BPH. It's done as an outpatient treatment.

There are no long term studies yet, but it looks like an interesting approach.

Thanks Andrew.
Anybody else know anything about this treatment?

The fact that UK's NHS has just approved it probably means its quite effective for the cost.

What I've read on the procedure suggests that it's cheap, effective and low on SEs. I bet we'll be hearing more about it.
