An enlarged prostate also referred to as "BPH"can cause uncomfortable and chronic symptoms in men such as frequent or urgent need to urinate, especially at night, difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream, and/or an inability to completely empty the bladder. Mason City Clinic urologist Steven Thoma, MD, is now offering a new minimally invasive procedure called UroLift for men with BPH with great results and little or no side
effects. Dr. Thoma is the only urologist in 70 miles of Mason City to perform the UroLift procedure which uses permanent implants to act like window curtain tie-backs to hold the lobes of an enlarged prostate open. Patients recover from the procedure quickly, and return to their normal routines with minimal downtime.
