Get BPH Relief with
the iTind treatmtent

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological condition that typically impacts aging men. In fact, BPH impacts 50% of men between ages 51-60 and upwards of 90% of men over 80. BPH is caused by the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. As the prostate gland enlarges, it presses down on the urethra and irritates the bladder. This creates a range of urological symptoms, from frequent urination to a weak urination stream.

BPH can greatly impact your quality of life, but a treatment can provide instant relief. iTind is a simple, straightforward procedure that treats BPH by reshaping the prostatic urethra and gently creating a wide opening for urine to flow freely. With minimal downtime, no permanent implants and lasting results, it’s helping more and more men address BPH.

Please note that, while Austin Urology Institute no longer offers iTind as a procedure, the following will help you understand this treatment option for enlarged prostates so you can make an informed decision for your health.

How Does iTind Work?

The iTind treatment is incredibly simple and can be performed in a hospital or clinic. It does not require overnight hospitalization, with patients typically going home on the same day. There’s no need for a catheter and very minimal downtime.

From start to finish, the procedure can be broken down into three steps:

The Insertion of iTind

First, the device is placed in the prostatic urethra in folded configuration. From here, the patient is sent home for the next 5-7 days.

The Implantation Period

During this time-frame, the iTind slowly will expand and gently apply pressure across three separate points that widen the prostatic urethra opening. This allows urine to flow.

The Removal of iTind

After 5-7 days, the prostate has been reshaped and the device is removed in-office.
