Treatment Overview
UroLift Ejaculation-Preserving BPH Relief is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) while maintaining normal ejaculatory and sexual function. Unlike traditional BPH surgeries, which may risk retrograde ejaculation or sexual side effects, UroLift uses small permanent implants to lift enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra. In Korea, this procedure is offered at advanced urology centers, providing men with effective symptom relief without compromising sexual health, all in a convenient outpatient setting.
