What is benign prostate enlargement?

Benign prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition affecting men as they age. Around 50% of men over 50 and up to 80% of men over 80 suffer from an enlarged prostate. But what exactly is benign prostate enlargement, and what are the symptoms?

What is CoreTherm®?

CoreTherm® is a non-surgical treatment for men with benign prostate enlargement. The procedure takes less than 15 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. Studies show that CoreTherm® provides symptom relief comparable to traditional surgery (TURP), but with a lower risk of serious complications.

For healthcare professionals

CoreTherm® is a minimally invasive transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objective is to coagulate and, with some latency, remove hypertrophic tissue that obstructs the urethra passage through the prostate.

CoreTherm® is a non-surgical treatment for men with benign prostate enlargement and urinary symptoms. It is a common condition in men over the age of 60. As the prostate enlarges, it can press against the urethra, making urination difficult.

During a CoreTherm® treatment, parts of the prostate gland are heated using microwaves. The heat causes prostate cells to die. After the treatment, the body naturally removes the dead tissue, causing the prostate to shrink. The pressure on the urethra is relieved, and urinary symptoms are eliminated.

CoreTherm® is a Swedish innovation that has been developed over more than 25 years. Studies have shown that CoreTherm® provides symptom relief comparable to traditional surgery (TURP/resection) but with a lower risk of serious complications.¹ Over 30,000 CoreTherm® treatments have been performed.
