MY SPECIALIZATIONS
Prostatic Hypertrophy
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia) is also known as prostatic adenoma. This is a condition characterized by enlarged prostate gland volume. It is quite common and manifests mainly from the age of 40 years and older. It is related to the natural aging of the prostate gland, which changes its volume over time, enlarging and thickening due to hormonal changes. It is therefore a process related to normal and inevitable aging.
BPH occurs in 8% of men, develops from age 40 onward, and is prevalent over age 50. The pathology is increasing as age advances and peaks between 70 and 80 years of age. In this age group, BPH affects about 80 percent of the male population.

that can make a difference
Water vapor
Recommended for all those patients who want to stop drug therapy and are not yet ready for surgery. The water vapor technique does not involve cutting.

MY SPECIALIZATIONS
Erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is the recurrent and persistent inability to have a viable erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Considering mild forms, it is estimated that 50% of men suffer from this condition, an incidence that increases with age.
Erectile dysfunction can affect men at any age and depends on a variety of causes: hormonal, vascular, neurogenic, and psychological.

PRP
PRP in andrology is essentially used for two conditions: erectile dysfunction and La Peyronie’s disease. The platelets in our blood have great regenerative abilities on tissues, and this concept is the basis for the use in medicine of PRP, or platelet-enriched plasma.
Penile prosthesis
A penile prosthesis is a medical device that is surgically implanted in individuals with severe erectile deficiency. This operation, in fact, is considered the last resort in patients who do not respond satisfactorily to drugs taken orally.

MY SPECIALIZATIONS
Prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the Italian male population.
The tumor originates from cells within the prostate, which begin to grow uncontrollably. This gland is very sensitive to the action of hormones, particularly testosterone, which influence its growth.
Despite the high incidence, the risk of the disease having an inauspicious outcome is low, especially if action is taken in time.
