Prostate cancer isn’t the only prostate issue impacting Australian men.

Enlarged prostates also cause significant problems, with symptoms including difficulty urinating and a frequent need to go to the toilet.

A groundbreaking operation for men with enlarged prostates, known as Rezum, is now being trialled in Australia.

Urological surgeon, Professor Henry Woo, tells Alan Jones more.

“It’s certainly a new treatment that’s really going to appeal to Australian men.
