A revolutionary new treatment for enlarged prostates has been introduced in Gloucestershire, providing hope to men suffering from this common and debilitating condition. The driving force behind bringing this cutting-edge technology to the UK is the story of Robert Rea, a retired firefighter who underwent the procedure and experienced life-changing results.
The innovative treatment, known as Aquablation therapy, was brought to Rob’s attention during his time in America, where he was working as a consultant for a disaster management facility. Upon his return to the UK, he underwent the surgery and has been astounded by the dramatic improvement in his symptoms.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly referred to as an enlarged prostate, affects millions of men in the UK. It can lead to various unpleasant symptoms such as difficulty in urination, frequent urges to urinate, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Left untreated, it can result in more serious complications, including acute urinary retention and infections. Unfortunately, for many men, traditional treatments have not provided satisfactory relief.
The introduction of Aquablation therapy has been received with great enthusiasm by medical professionals and patients alike. The treatment has earned a positive recommendation from the National Institute of Care and Excellence (NICE), signifying a significant advancement in the field of prostate care.
Consultant Urologist Mr. Jeremy Nettleton describes Aquablation therapy as a game-changing approach to addressing enlarged prostates. By utilizing heat-free water power, the treatment leads to improved urinary symptoms while minimizing side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. This innovative robotic treatment is a welcome addition to the available options for patients in Gloucestershire and beyond.
Ramsay’s Winfield Hospital in Longford, Gloucestershire, is now offering this state-of-the-art procedure to patients, marking a significant milestone in the treatment of enlarged prostates. This development reflects the hospital’s commitment to incorporating the latest advancements in medical technology to enhance patient care and outcomes.
Clinical studies have shown that Aquablation therapy provides substantial relief from symptoms while maintaining low rates of irreversible complications, regardless of prostate size or shape. The treatment boasts an impressive 99.5% continence preservation rate and preserves 100% of erectile function, offering reassurance to patients regarding potential side effects.
The availability of this pioneering treatment is a testament to the ongoing advancements in medical technology and the commitment of healthcare providers to improving the quality of life for patients. Thanks to the efforts of individuals like Robert Rea, who have shared their experiences publicly, a greater awareness of enlarged prostate and the available treatment options can be achieved, offering hope and relief to those who are affected.
