What is an Enlarged Prostate (BPH)?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. The prostate surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra, causing urinary difficulties.



Symptoms of an Enlarged Prostate

Men with BPH may experience:
✅ Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
✅ Weak or interrupted urine stream
✅ Difficulty starting urination
✅ Incomplete bladder emptying
✅ Sudden urges to urinate
✅ Dribbling after urination
✅ Pain or discomfort during urination (in some cases)

If left untreated, severe BPH can lead to urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder stones, or kidney damage.



Causes and Risk Factors of BPH

While the exact cause of prostate enlargement is unclear, factors that contribute to BPH include:

• Aging – The risk increases with age, especially after 50.
• Hormonal Changes – Imbalances in testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can trigger prostate growth.
• Genetics – Family history of BPH may increase the risk.
• Lifestyle Factors – Obesity, lack of exercise, and poor diet can contribute to prostate problems.
• Medical Conditions – Diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of BPH.

Our clinic offers comprehensive testing to diagnose BPH, including:

🔹 Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) – A quick physical exam to check prostate size.
🔹 Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test – Measures PSA levels to rule out prostate cancer.
🔹 Urine Flow Test – Evaluates the strength of urine flow.
🔹 Post-Void Residual Test – Measures how much urine remains in the bladder after urination.
🔹 Ultrasound & Imaging Tests – Provides detailed images of the prostate and bladder.



Enlarged Prostate (BPH) Treatment Options

At Proud Urology Clinic, we offer customized BPH treatments based on your condition and lifestyle.

1. Lifestyle Changes & Home Remedies

Mild cases of BPH can be managed with lifestyle adjustments, such as:
✔ Reducing caffeine and alcohol to minimize bladder irritation.
✔ Avoiding drinking fluids before bedtime to reduce nighttime urination.
✔ Maintaining a healthy weight and regular exercise to improve prostate health.

2. Medications for Enlarged Prostate

Certain prescription medications can help relieve BPH symptoms:
💊 Alpha-Blockers – Relax prostate muscles to improve urine flow (Tamsulosin, Alfuzosin).
💊 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors – Reduce prostate size over time (Finasteride, Dutasteride).
💊 Combination Therapy – A mix of alpha-blockers and hormone blockers for better symptom relief.

3. Minimally Invasive BPH Treatments

If medications are not effective, our clinic offers non-surgical procedures to shrink the prostate:

🩺 UroLift® Procedure – A permanent implant that lifts and holds the prostate away from the urethra.
🔥 Transurethral Microwave Therapy (TUMT) – Uses heat to reduce prostate size and relieve symptoms.
🔬 Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy – A minimally invasive procedure that shrinks the prostate using steam therapy.

4. Surgical Options for Severe BPH

For severe cases, our expert urologists provide advanced surgical treatments:

🔹 Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) – A common surgical procedure that removes excess prostate tissue to improve urine flow.
🔹 Laser Prostate Surgery (HoLEP, GreenLight™) – Uses high-energy laser technology to remove prostate tissue with minimal recovery time.
🔹 Prostatectomy – A last-resort surgery for extremely enlarged prostates.
