The International Center for Cryosurgery and Criomedicine, based in Malaga, carried out a balance of the first year applying a new technique to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Inflammation or Increased Prostate Size) achieving success in 98% of interventions . Patients in addition to not needing surgery maintain intact their sexual functions.

For the medical director of the International Center of Cryosurgery, Pedro Torrecillas "this advanced methodology allows to act directly on the prostate without invasive surgery interventions." Acknowledgments Patients are thankful because the recovery is much faster than in a conventional surgery in the operating room So they recover their daily activity in a very few days with total normality, including sexual functions, so the balance of this first year can not be more positive by applying this method in our center.

This new method, in the field of cryosurgery and cryomedicine, allows us to measure the specific mean intensity of this freezing technique to treat even very large benign prostate hyperplasia in patients who, for one reason or another, do not want or can not be Operated by another surgical or laser system.

For example, patients with severe cardiorespiratory problems, prostates that because of their size can not be operated by laser or normal transurethral resection, even in patients with very large prostates and very large abdomen, in which it is technically complicated to operate with open surgery, or Patients who do not want to give up a full sex life.

This cryosurgery, which reaches temperatures somewhat higher than those of Cryosurgery Oncology, can be performed with local anesthesia or with sedation; Are performed in a day hospital or in the urologist's own appointment, need to carry a tube after the treatment for a few days and the most important characteristic is that the sexual function is fully conserved, since the patient does not lose the capacity of erection nor the capacity of ejaculation; In fact, there is no retrograde ejaculation with this system, but a normal ejaculation.

It is also suitable in the treatment of fibroids and mammary cysts, which are performed by ultrasound control. Both tests can be done in the doctor's own consultation and, after locating the cysts or mammary, is punctured with a very fine needle and freeze, resorbing completely in a few weeks.

The procedure is painless, since it can be done with local anesthesia or with sedation, it does not leave scars, being the very fine needle, nor marks or deformations in the skin of the patient. In addition, if fibroadenomas are repeated, the treatment can be repeated because it leaves no scars.

BENIGN HYPERPLASIA
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland whose prevalence increases progressively with age. In fact, less than 10 percent of 30-year-old men have prostate enlargement. At age 40, the man experiences a second enlargement. Half of men have an enlarged prostate at 60 years of age, and at 85, 90 percent of men have an enlarged prostate.
