Transurethral Microwave Technology (TUMT)

Transurethral Microwave Technology (TUMT): "TUMT has not been reported to lead to impotence or incontinence.

Microwave therapy doesn't cure an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), but it does reduce most symptoms. It doesn't, however correct the problem of incomplete emptying of the bladder.

Re-evaluations are needed from time to time to check the status of your prostate (and rule out prostate cancer). This follow-up - while available at the Minimally Invasive Urology Institute - is usually done by your own urologist."
