Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) offers a non-invasive, innovative approach to managing symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This therapy uses low-intensity acoustic waves to improve blood flow and stimulate tissue repair in the prostate area, which can alleviate pressure on the urethra. As the prostate tissue becomes healthier and inflammation decreases, urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and poor urination stream are often reduced.
The therapy’s ability to enhance circulation in the prostate area helps relax muscle tension around the bladder neck and urethra, allowing for a more effective urine flow and reducing the discomfort associated with BPH. Unlike medications, which may have side effects, or surgery, which requires downtime, SWT is a safe, non-invasive alternative that offers symptom relief without interrupting daily life.
By addressing the underlying causes of BPH symptoms, Shock Wave Therapy promotes natural healing, potentially improving quality of life and urinary function for individuals with prostate enlargement.
