Is iTind covered by Medicare or health insurance?
As iTind is a relatively new BPH treatment procedure, coverage can vary. Our team can advise you on any out-of-pocket costs and help you understand your insurance options.
How long do the results last?
Clinical studies show that symptom relief from iTind is durable, lasting several years in most men. Repeat treatments are rarely needed but are possible if symptoms return.
Will iTind affect my sexual function?
No. iTind is specifically designed to preserve erectile and ejaculatory function, making it an excellent choice for men concerned about sexual side effects.
Is the iTind procedure painful?
Some mild discomfort may be experienced during the implant period, but most patients tolerate the device well. You can continue your daily activities, although we may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise.
When will I start to feel better?
Most men begin to notice improvements shortly after the device is removed, with further symptom relief developing over the following weeks.
What happens during the procedure?
The iTind device is inserted through the urethra under local anaesthesia or sedation. It stays in place for 5 - 7 days, after which it is removed in a second procedure. No hospital stay is required.
How is iTind different from other BPH treatments?
iTind is a temporary, implantable device that reshapes the prostate internally without permanently altering the tissue. No cutting, heat, or permanent implant is involved, which results in fewer risks and a shorter recovery time.
Is Rezum covered by Medicare or private health insurance?
Rezum may be partially covered depending on your insurer and individual policy. Our team can help clarify costs and rebates during your consultation.
Is it a permanent solution?
Rezum offers long-lasting symptom relief. In clinical trials, most men have maintained significant improvements for at least five years. Some may require retreatment in the future, but it is far less likely than with medication alone.
Will Rezum affect sexual function?
One of the advantages of Rezum is that it is designed to preserve erectile and ejaculatory function. The majority of men report no long-term sexual side effects.
