UroLift is quickly becoming the go-to solution for men struggling with an enlarged prostate. Millions of men over 50 silently suffer from symptoms of an enlarged prostate: frequent urination, poor stream, interrupted sleep, and the constant urge to go – even when the bladder isn’t full.

But what if those symptoms could be relieved without surgery, cutting, or long recovery?

Dr. Nagendra Tripathy, Consultant Urologist at RAK Hospital. Over the years, I’ve met hundreds of men struggling with BPH. Most of them delay treatment, fearing invasive surgery or potential side effects like retrograde ejaculation, erectile dysfunction or urinary incontinence.

That’s why I’m proud to introduce UroLift, a minimally invasive treatment that relieves urinary symptoms and helps preserve sexual function and overall quality of life.

What Is UroLift (And Why It’s a Game Changer)?

UroLift is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — a condition where the prostate gland enlarges, causing pressure on the urethra and disrupting normal urination.

Unlike traditional surgery, the UroLift System doesn’t cut, heat, or remove prostate tissue. Instead, it uses tiny implants to gently lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue, opening the urethra and allowing urine to flow freely.

Minimally invasive procedure
FDA-approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Outpatient – no hospital stay
Preserves sexual function and avoids common side effects of surgery

In fact, UroLift is one of the few BPH treatments approved by drug administration bodies for its ability to relieve symptoms without affecting erectile or ejaculatory function.

At RAK Hospital, our urologists use advanced diagnostics to determine if UroLift is the right option for you – and as the first hospital in the UAE to perform this procedure, we’re setting a new standard in men’s health.

BPH Symptoms That UroLift Can Fix

BPH affects nearly half of men over 50 – but many assume urinary problems are just “part of aging.”

UroLift can help in:

  1. Improving the urine flow speed
  2. Reducing the frequency of urine during the day
  3. ⁠Improving frequent nighttime urination
  4. ⁠Promoting complete bladder emptying
  5. Relieving straining to pass urine

These urinary tract symptoms are more than just inconvenient — they can lower your quality of life, disrupt sleep, and increase your risk of urinary tract infections or bladder problems.

How the UroLift Procedure Works (Step-by-Step)

Wondering what actually happens during the UroLift procedure? Here’s a simple breakdown:

Step 1: Anesthesia

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure maximum patient comfort; however, it can also be done under local anesthesia in patients who are at high risk for general anesthesia.

Step 2: UroLift System Inserted

Using a thin instrument inserted through the urethra (no cuts!), the UroLift system delivers tiny implants.

Step 3: Lifting the Prostate Tissue

The implants gently pull back the enlarged prostate gland, opening the blocked urethra and restoring urine flow.

Step 4: Immediate Results

The entire minimally invasive treatment takes less than an hour. Most patients feel noticeable improvement right away.

Unlike surgeries like TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), UroLift doesn’t remove tissue or damage nerves, so recovery is faster – and sexual function is preserved.

Real Benefits of UroLift for Men in UAE

Men across the UAE are choosing UroLift at RAK Hospital because it’s safe, fast, and life-changing.

Here’s why this medical procedure is a preferred BPH solution:

  • No hospital stay – Go home the same day
  • No long-term medications – Avoid side effects of daily pills
  • No sexual dysfunction – Preserves erections and ejaculation
  • Quick recovery – Most men return to work in 1–2 days
  • Proven long-term results – 5+ years of symptom relief reported

For many men, UroLift means freedom from the bathroom and restored quality of life without the burden of surgery or drugs.

Is UroLift Right for You?

Not everyone with BPH needs surgery — but not all treatments work for everyone either.

UroLift is ideal if:

  • You’re 50+ and tired of frequent bathroom trips
  • You want to avoid lifelong medications
  • You haven’t had prior prostate surgery
  • Your prostate is moderately enlarged, not severely
  • You want to preserve sexual function

May not be suitable if:

  • Your prostate is very large or severely obstructed
  • You’ve had previous prostate gland surgeries
  • You have ongoing urinary tract infections or bladder issues

At RAK Hospital, our specialists perform a thorough evaluation – including prostate size, urinary tests, and symptom review – before recommending any medical procedure involving prostate tissues.
