Prostiva System - Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH Treatment
Prostiva RF Therapy
The Prostiva RF Therapy uses low-level radio frequency energy to destroy excess prostate tissue, which may allow you to urinate more normally. Only the part of the prostate that is "squeezing" the urethra is destroyed. The urethra and the rest of the prostate remain unaffected.
