What's the short answer?
Yes.
The device can be turned off, adjusted, or removed in a short procedure if needed.
When should you see a urologist about this?
Get checked if you can't empty your bladder and rely on a catheter.
What happens at your Crown Pointe Way appointment?
Visits for this topic usually happen at the Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center, 501 Crown Pointe Way, or at our Braselton clinic. Expect our Gwinnett team to hear the whole story first, examine you briefly, then send any urine, blood or imaging orders down the hall. You leave knowing what was found and what the plan is.
How do our Lawrenceville urologists approach this?
Enlarged prostate care at Crown Pointe Way moves in steps. Many men begin with habit changes and a daily medicine. When relief falls short or side effects bother you, our urologists explain UroLift, Aquablation, HoLEP, TURP and prostate artery embolization side by side, including what each means for recovery and ejaculation.
How should you get ready for Crown Pointe Way?
Note when it began, what eases or worsens it, and each medicine or supplement on your list. Carry your insurance card and photo ID, plus results from outside labs or scans. If someone helps you remember details, they are welcome in the room at Crown Pointe Way.
When should you phone us?
Call (678) 344-8900 if symptoms are changing, if a new result worries you, or if a treatment is not doing what you hoped. Crown Pointe Way schedulers will book you with a urologist or physician assistant who sees this concern often.
What should you read next?
What else do patients ask?
My PSA went up a little. Should I book now or wait?
Book now. Our Lawrenceville urologists compare the new number with earlier ones, ask about recent infections or procedures, and explain whether repeating the test, an MRI or a biopsy comes next.
Can Lawrenceville patients have imaging and procedures in one place?
Many can. Lab work, imaging and outpatient surgery all happen inside the Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center at 501 Crown Pointe Way, so fewer separate appointments are needed.
