We are delighted to partner with Procept BioRobotics to bring you this episode of the Prostate Health Podcast.

The primary reason men consult urologists is due to an enlarged prostate. 

With June being Men's Health Month, we are thrilled to welcome urologist Dr. Jennifer Lloyd-Harris on the podcast today to discuss Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a significant health issue for men, and we are excited to inform listeners about a groundbreaking water-based technology to bring men relief from their symptoms. We also have Ken, a patient of Dr. Lloyd-Harris, joining us to share his journey with BPH and his experience with the innovative aquablation procedure.

Dr. Lloyd-Harris is a board-certified urologist at the Penn Medicine Urology Center in Philadelphia. She completed her urology residency training at the University of Wisconsin and now manages both benign and malignant urologic conditions. She has received training in minimally invasive surgery and the medical and surgical treatment of urinary problems and benign enlargement of the prostate. Her goal is to provide high-quality, up-to-date, and comprehensive patient-centered urologic care, and she is committed to building meaningful relationships with her patients through communication and passion.

Stay tuned as Dr. Lloyd-Harris shares her insights on BPH and utilizing the aquablation procedure for treating its symptoms.
