MIDDLETOWN — Garnet Health Doctors will host a free Aquablation Therapy Awareness Event on Thursday, Jan. 22, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Middletown Thrall Library (11-19 Depot Street, Middletown, NY 10940). Attendees will learn how aquablation therapy compares with other treatment options, the benefits it offers and why it is becoming a preferred treatment option for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held on Thursday, Jan. 29, at the same time and location. 

BPH is a common, noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can lead to urinary symptoms such as increased frequency, difficulty urinating and a weakened urine stream. Aquablation therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that uses the precision of water-jet technology to remove excess and/or obstructive prostate tissue. It is clinically proven to provide long-lasting BPH symptom relief while preserving sexual function and continence. 

This special community education event will feature Garnet Health Doctors urologists Samuel Abourbih, MD, and Gerard Galarneau, MD. During this session, the physicians will discuss BPH and the importance of early diagnosis as well as the benefits of aquablation therapy to treat BPH. 

This informative event is open to the public and designed to empower men with knowledge about effective BPH management. For more information or to register, visit garnethealth.org/aquablationevent.
