Summary

This study tests whether high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can safely and effectively treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. Seventeen men aged 45 to 80 with moderate to severe symptoms will receive a single HIFU treatment using a probe placed in the rectum. Researchers will track symptom scores, urine flow, side effects, and sexual function for six months to see if the procedure offers a needle-free alternative to medication or surgery.
