"Too many men suffer with the symptoms of frequent or difficult urinationthat are caused by a benign enlargement of the prostate. Every second man over60 and nearly every man over 80 experience the problem in one form oranother," says Dr. Ronald F. Gilbert of Orange Coast Urology. "Men are oftenreluctant to seek treatment because they think that the treatment options arepainful and require extensive surgical procedures. However, the innovativeLIFE(TM) (Laser Induced Flow Enhancement) laser treatment from biolitec allowsus to vaporize prostate tissue that is blocking the urinary tract in a simple,in-office treatment that allows them to return home the same day as treatmentwith a short recovery time and minimal postoperative risks. The treatment isusually covered by insurance with an office visit co-pay."

biolitec's LIFE(TM) therapy is performed under local anaesthesia, thusavoiding the risks associated with a spinal or general anaesthesia, and can becompleted in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. Patients can go home the day ofthe procedure and catheters, when needed, are typically removed within 48hours.
"The advancement offered by the LIFE(TM) procedure means that men can noweasily treat what is one of the most common, and frustrating, medicalconditions," adds Dr. Gilbert. "We're excited to bring this groundbreakingtreatment to the Huntington Beach area and hope that those who suffer from BPHwill take advantage of this simple but life changing procedure."
