PROBLEMS
WITH YOUR PROSTATE?
Does this sound familiar? As you grow older, do you realize you are getting up more often at night to urinate? Have you come to accept this as in inevitable part of aging as your father did or his father before him?
There is no need for men to suffer from frequent urination because they are getting older. Dr. James Young, a down-to-earth urologist in Lake County since 1982, has successfully treated thousands of patients who suffer with enlarged prostate (BPH). What’s even better is that treatment options are more numerous and far less invasive than those offered to our fathers and grandfathers.
Dr. Young is internationally recognized as one of the leading experts in Prostiva RF Therapy, an in-offi ce procedure for the treatment of enlarged prostate in men. Prostiva utilizes low-level radiofrequency energy to destroy the obstructing component of the enlarged prostate The procedure allows men to stop taking medications for their prostate issues without undergoing major surgery.
That distinction has placed him on Castle Connelly’s prestigious Top Docs list for fi ve consecutive years.
Dr. Young has performed more Prostiva procedures than any urologist in the United States and possibly the world. In 2014, he performed nearly 400 Prostiva procedures, accounting for approximately 5 percent of the 8,000 performed worldwide.
The procedure is performed in Dr. Young’s offi ce under local anesthesia. “I am very happy with the results I have achieved for many patients using Prostiva RF Therapy,” says Dr. Young, who has successfully treated nearly 3,000 patients with this procedure.
Not only is Dr. Young happy; patients are extremely satisfi ed, as well. That’s evidenced by the glowing reviews he receives on healthgrades. com and vitals.com from patients who underwent the procedure.
“His revolutionary procedure was easy with very little discomfort,” wrote one patient.
“My urinary problems have disappeared, I sleep better, and have signifi cantly more energy,” another patient wrote.
Dr. Young encourages all patients to visit vitals.com and healthgrades. com to fi nd for themselves what patients are saying. Dr. Young’s Healthgrades online profi le was visited 2,311 times between January 2015 and January 2016, ranking him 18th among 978 urologists in Florida.
Always striving to be on the cutting-edge of therapies to treat enlarged prostates, Dr. Young will soon be offering a new procedure called Rezum. This safe and effi cient treatment uses thermal energy in water vapor to remove obstructive tissue surrounding the prostate. The procedure is performed in-offi ce under local anesthesia or oral sedation. Dr. Young will be the fi rst urologist in Central Florida to offer this cutting-edge treatment.
“It takes less time to perform and destroys even more of the obstructive tissue. It also has rapid symptom relief and minimal discomfort. I’m usually not a doctor who jumps on new technology, but I’ve talked to many urologists who have studied this procedure in clinical trials and are now using this therapy at their practices today. They are extremely pleased with the results they’re receiving.”
