Is RF therapy safe?

Yes, the procedure is safe. The instruments used in PROSTIVA RF Therapy were designed with several important safety features. For example, the instrument constantly measures temperature in the treatment area and automatically shuts off if it senses that it is getting too hot.

Who should consider RF therapy?

RF Therapy is for men with BPH who are over age 50 with prostate sizes between 20cm and 50cm. If you're already being treated for BPH symptoms but you're not getting enough relief or are having side effects, RF therapy is an option for you.
