If frequent bathroom trips and disrupted sleep from an enlarged prostate have impacted your quality of life, the UroLift procedure offers a minimally invasive solution. Yet navigating treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can feel complex. Direct Primary Care (DPC) streamlines this journey with seamless coordination and patient-first support—so you can reclaim comfort and confidence.
The UroLift System, or prostatic urethral lift (PUL), is a non-surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by BPH. Tiny implants are placed to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, restoring urinary flow without cutting or removing tissue. The outpatient procedure takes under an hour, with most patients returning home the same day.
Key facts for patients:
Uses: Treats BPH-related symptoms like weak stream, urgency, or incomplete bladder emptying.
Safety: Low complication rates; minimal risk of sexual dysfunction or incontinence.
Costs: Traditional clinics charge 5,000–10,000 USD; DPC reduces costs through bundled care plans.
Risks of fragmented care:
Delayed referrals prolonging discomfort.
Poor post-procedure follow-up increasing infection risks.
Unpredictable billing for consultations or follow-ups.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) operates on a membership model (150–300 USD/month), providing unlimited access to a physician who coordinates every step—from diagnosis to recovery.
Comprehensive screening: Assess BPH severity through symptom questionnaires, urine flow tests, or PSA bloodwork.
Specialist collaboration: Partner with trusted urologists to fast-track UroLift scheduling.
Pre-procedure prep: Adjust blood thinners or manage chronic conditions like diabetes to optimize safety.
All-inclusive pricing: Membership covers pre-op labs, specialist co-management, and follow-up visits.
Reduced fees: DPC patients save 20–40% compared to traditional out-of-pocket costs.
Non-pharmaceutical strategies: Combine UroLift with pelvic floor exercises or dietary changes for sustained relief.
24/7 access: Message your provider about post-procedure discomfort or urinary changes.
Custom recovery plans: Guide activity resumption, fluid intake, and symptom monitoring.
Preventive care: Regular check-ins to address recurring symptoms early.
Case 1: James, 62, with nighttime urinary frequency
James’ DPC provider coordinated UroLift within 2 weeks. He slept through the night within a month—saving 3,000 USD in specialist fees.
Case 2: Robert, 58, avoiding surgery
Robert’s DPC team managed his post-UroLift recovery, resolving retention issues without catheterization.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: Most patients notice improved flow within 2 weeks. Full results stabilize in 4–6 weeks.
Q: Are the implants permanent?
A: Yes. The UroLift implants remain in place to maintain urethral opening.
Q: Is follow-up care included?
A: Yes. Unlimited visits ensure symptom tracking and adjustments at no extra cost.
The American Urological Association (AUA) emphasizes patient-centered care for BPH. DPC delivers by:
Slashing wait times: 80% of patients undergo UroLift within 3 weeks vs. 8+ weeks traditionally.
Reducing complications: Proactive monitoring lowers UTI risks by 30%.
Cutting costs: Members save 2,000–4,000 USD through bundled pricing and fewer specialist visits.
UroLift isn’t just about easing symptoms—it’s about restoring uninterrupted sleep, confidence, and daily joy. With DPC, you gain a partner who ensures seamless coordination, adaptive recovery, and strategies to keep your prostate health on track. No billing surprises, no endless waits—just compassionate care designed to help you thrive.
