Find a UroLift™-trained physician

The UroLift™ procedure is performed by a large network of urologists, who can advise you on the treatment plan that's best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is recovery like after the UroLift procedure? Will I need medication or a catheter?

There is minimal downtime post-treatment and many patients experience symptom relief in as early as 2 weeks.1,2 The most common side effects may include blood in the urine, some pain or discomfort when urinating, some increased urge to go and discomfort in the pelvis that typically resolve within two to four weeks after the procedure.2 Medications are not typically required after recovering from the UroLift treatment.3 Your doctor may prescribe short-term medications such as pain relievers or antibiotics depending on your individual needs. However, about 9 out of 10 patients treated with UroLift did not require BPH medications at 5 years.2

Typically, no catheter is required after treatment, but some men may require a catheter after the procedure to help drain the bladder and assist in the healing process.1,2 Please discuss this with your urologist prior to your UroLift procedure.

Do UroLift implants interfere with a digital rectal exam (DRE)?

The implants are not expected to interfere with a DRE. The implants are placed on the anterior (front) side of the prostate, and a DRE is conducted on the posterior (back) side of the prostate.
