Blessing Hospital Rolls Out Robotic Aquablation for Enlarged Prostate

Blessing Hospital in Quincy is offering Aquablation therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). Urologists Dr. Bradley Holland and Dr. David Lieber describe the HYDROS robotic system as a heat‑free waterjet that uses AI‑assisted planning and real‑time imaging to remove only obstructive prostate tissue, aiming for fewer side effects and the option for same‑day discharge while preserving continence and sexual function. The procedure addresses common BPH symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency and weak urine flow, which can lead to more serious health issues if untreated.

"Study Shows Plant-Based Diet Lowers Health Risks for Men, Including Prostate Cancer"

A recent study published in the medical journal Urology found that a plant-forward diet could help prevent and manage conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), erectile dysfunction (ED), and prostate cancer (PC) in men. The study evaluated the relationship between consuming plant-forward diets and commonly observed male health conditions such as BPH, ED, and PC. The findings showed that consuming plant-forward diets could aid in preventing and managing male urologic conditions such as BPH, PC, and ED. Additionally, a plant-based diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables could reduce both the progression of prostate cancer and the risk that it could return. Conversely, men who regularly consume dairy, particularly milk, compared to those who abstain from it, could be at approximately a 60-percent higher risk of developing prostate cancer.
