I once worked for a urologist who used a similar system to treat enlarged prostates. A probe was inserted through the urethra that contained a microwave generator. The microwaves would “cook” the prostate. What happens to meat after it is cooked? It shrinks. Unfortunately a few days later the prostate would have an inflammatory response and swell up and I’d have to prescribe steroids for a few days to get rid of the swelling. After that they were fine.
Sounds like using ultrasound instead of microwaves is a much better idea.
“probe was inserted through the urethra” = No F’ing way
I literally just got home from the Urlologist 90 minutes ago. Stuck his finger up me bum, he did, and I sang out a few verses of Moon River. But, the ‘ol prostate is all good, thank God.
