Understanding BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition among men, particularly as they age. It occurs in 8% of men between 31 and 40 years old. In men over 80 years old, more than 80% will have prostatic hyperplasia. It involves the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can lead to urinary issues and impact quality of life.

Symptoms

Frequent Urination (Day and Night)
Weak, interrupted urine stream
Urine leakage or dribbling

Diagnosing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) involves a thorough process to understand the extent and impact of the condition. Our diagnostic approach have several key steps designed to provide accurate assessment and personalized treatment recommendations.
Rectal Exam: Evaluates the size and contour of the gland and helps determine if there are signs suggestive of prostate cancer.
Urine Test: To check for infection.
Blood test: To evaluate prostate-specific antigen (PSA).
Urodynamic studies: Sometimes necessary in patients with signs and symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia.

This minimally invasive procedure, also known as GreenLight Laser Therapy, utilizes laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue, alleviating urinary obstruction while preserving healthy tissue.

Surgical Intervention

For severe cases or when other treatments are ineffective, surgical procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or robotic-assisted prostatectomy may be recommended to remove excess prostate tissue and improve urinary flow.

You should see a doctor if you experience any urinary symptoms that affect your quality of life, such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or a weak urine stream. Early evaluation and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.

How Can I Prevent BPH?
