A member asked:
How long is urolift expected to be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The Urolift system installs small retainers within the prostate to gently pull it away from the urethra- resulting in a more open passage and easier urination. Because the Prostate is contantly growing, this mechanism only lasts 3-5 years. At that point, the procedure can be redone or another procedure can be considered.
