Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA)

Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA) therapy is one of the exciting and effective advances in the treatment of enlarged prostates offered by Men’s Health Boston. Using a telescope, the doctor looks inside the prostate and heats several areas with a small needle. This causes the tissue to shrink over several weeks. The treatment is performed in the office and takes less than one hour. The benefits may last for many years, allowing many men to stop taking medications for their urinary symptoms.
