RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT:

This 48-month study on Water Vapor Thermal Therapy (WVTT) for benign prostatic hyperplasia showed that WVTT significantly improved symptoms and quality of life for men, regardless of prostate size. The therapy reduced medication use and enhanced sexual function, especially in those with prostate volumes between 30 to 80 cc. However, men with larger prostates (>80 cc) might still need ongoing medication. WVTT is a relatively new treatment for enlarged prostate, one that has some advantages in terms of treating the prostate more efficiently than some other options.

Curious about how WVTT could work for you or someone you know? See the full study to find out more!

Q&A WITH DR. MALIK:

A Question from a subscriber: “Does ejaculating during sexual intercourse have an adverse effect on over-active bladder symptoms. Could Viagra make them worse?”

Answer:

First off, ejaculation during intercourse doesn't typically worsen overactive bladder symptoms. In fact, some men report temporary relief after ejaculation. However, some men with stress incontinence, or leakage because of a weak sphincter for example, after prostate surgery, can have leakage during sex or with climax.

Now, as for Viagra - its primary job is to increase blood flow to the penis. Sometimes it can even relax the prostate allowing for fewer urinary symptoms.

If you're experiencing worsening OAB symptoms, it might be worth having a chat with your doctor to get evaluated further
