ST. JOHNS, Fla. <\/strong> \u2013 A St. Johns man is among one of the first to be treated for an enlarged prostate in a new way at Ascension St. Vincent\u2019s St. Johns County Hospital. <\/p>\n

A new technology being used to deal with a common health some men face. <\/p>\n

A little more than six months ago, Hyland was diagnosed with BPH, which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. <\/p>\n

\u201cGetting up about four or five times a night [to use the bathroom] and not sleeping too well,\u201d Hyland says of the symptoms he experienced for at least a year. \u201cThat was what was really concerning to me. What\u2019s the problem here? Is it a big issue? Are we talking about something that is pretty scary?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyland says going through the procedure after about a year of symptoms was well worth it. He is back to doing things he loves like exercising every day. His quality of life is restored.<\/span> (WJXT)<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Mayo Clinic, BPH affects 50% of men in their 50s, 60% in their 60s and 70 to 80% in their 80s. <\/p>\n

Common symptoms include using the bathroom frequently and urgently, having a weak urinary stream or a strain. The condition can lead to men not urinating at all. <\/p>\n

A new technology called HYDROS Robotic system is being used to treat BPH in a non-invasive way through a procedure in a called Aquablation. It\u2019s what Hyland just experienced. <\/p>\n
