In general, <strong>Urolift is considered to be a safe, minimally invasive procedure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In a study of Urolift patients, after 5 years, about 8% of patients developed side effects such as Urolift protrusion into the bladder, which requires removal of Urolift stents, and 1% require removal due to infection (urosepsis).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At New York Urology Specialists, our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/urolift\/top-urolift-doctor\/\">experienced urologists<\/a><\/strong> <strong>maximize the success of the Urolift procedure<\/strong> by <strong>minimizing the chances of infection<\/strong> and <strong>performing a technically superb procedure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Treatment of Problems and Complications after Urolift<\/h2>\n<p>If you experience a problem after the Urolift procedure, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/appointments\/\">schedule an appointment<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; we have extensive experience helping men with side effects and complications after the Urolift procedure.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Side Effects of Urolift Implant Insertion in the Prostate<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Transient side effects lasting 1-2 weeks<\/strong> can occur after cystoscopy and Urolift insertion. These side effects include a small amount of blood in urine, frequent urination, mild burning with urination, pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and urge incontinence. &nbsp;<strong>Symptoms typically resolve within 7-14 days after the procedure<\/strong>. &nbsp;About 1% of patients experience each of the following: burning with urination, blood in urine and pelvic pain\/discomfort, urinary urgency, bladder spasms, and urge incontinence 1 year after the procedure.&nbsp; <strong>These symptoms can be effectively treated as they are most commonly caused by the underlying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/urinary-problems\/oab\/\">OAB (overactive bladder)<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/urolift\/options-if-urolift-does-not-work\/\">inadequate benefit from the Urolift procedure<\/a> in addressing prostate obstruction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Problems After Urolift Implant for BPH<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Few&nbsp;long-term problems have been reported in patients who underwent the Urolift procedure.<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;There appears to be no increased risk of bladder or urethral stone formation after treatment with a trans-prostatic Urolift implant for BPH as long as the implants do not protrude into the bladder. However, in about 10% of patients, removal of implants that protrude into the bladder is required as they can lead to stone formation (encrustation).<\/p>\n<p>There is <strong>no increased risk of bladder or prostate cancer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A small risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/urinary-problems\/urethral-stricture\/\">urethral stricture<\/a> (&lt;2%) exists after cystoscopy procedures associated with Urolift insertion. &nbsp;This risk is common to all procedures for the treatment of the prostate that are performed through the urethra and is not unique to Urolift (TURP, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/greenlight-laser\/recovery\/\">Greenlight laser<\/a>, other lasers, HOLEP, etc.).<\/p>\n<h2>Complications of Treatment with Urolift<\/h2>\n<p>A<strong> small risk of UTI<\/strong> related to cystoscopy procedure exists after the Urolift procedure, which is treatable with antibiotics. <strong>Prophylactic antibiotics are administered<\/strong> to minimize the risk of the procedure. &lt;1% of patients may develop urosepsis.<\/p>\n<h2>Lack of Efficacy<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Urolift is effective for 60-90% of patients<\/strong>. However, 10% of patients require a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/urolift\/treatment-durability\/\">different surgical procedure<\/a> within 3 years of treatment with Urolift. &nbsp;Another 30% of patients either resume or start medications for enlarged prostate after treatment with Urolift.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you did not experience adequate benefit from Urolift, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/appointments\/\">schedule an appointment<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/appointments\/\">Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger, <\/a>who is experienced in treating men for whom Urolift did not provide adequate benefit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion: Risks vs. Benefits of Urolift Procedure<\/h2>\n<p>As with any technology, there are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/urolift\/pros-cons\/\">pros and cons<\/a><\/strong> to every treatment. &nbsp;&nbsp;Side effects from the Urolift procedure tend to be minimal and transient, typically lasting less than 1-2 weeks.&nbsp; However, it is important for men to be aware of them and know what to expect before embarking on treatment with Urolift for BPH. &nbsp;<strong>Urolift is associated with improvement in sexual function,<\/strong> which is unique among treatments for enlarged prostate.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, <strong>Urolift has a favorable risk-benefit ratio<\/strong> and is advised as an excellent treatment option for men with an enlarged prostate. It is an optimal treatment option for men with mild to moderate symptoms of BPH who wish to <strong>preserve ejaculatory function<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While Urolift has minimal sexual side effects, it tends to be less effective than surgical treatment with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/prostate-enucleation\/\">laser enucleation<\/a> or TURP, or laser ablation of the prostate when it comes to improvement in the urinary flow stream and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/pvr\/\">post-void residual urine in the bladder<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Did you know?<\/strong><\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/about\/urologists\/dr-alex-shteynshlyuger\/\">Dr. Shteynshlyuger<\/a><\/strong> has performed <strong>over 1,000 surgeries and procedures for enlarged prostate,<\/strong> including Rezum, Urolift, prostate enucleation, laser ablation of the prostate, and TURP.&nbsp; He performs over 100 prostate procedures a year.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost of Enlarged Prostate Treatment without Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>At New York Urology Specialists, we offer&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/appointments\/financial-information\/\"><strong>affordable treatment for men<\/strong><\/a>.
