BPH is when the prostate gland grows larger, squeezing the urethra and causing urinary symptoms. Think of your prostate like a donut around a straw. As the donut gets bigger, it can narrow the straw, making it harder for the liquid to flow through. Prostate gland enlargement is a natural part of ageing for many men. Still, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, and weak urine stream.

The prostate gland is underneath the bladder. The tube that passes urine from the urinary bladder out of the penis (urethra) goes through the middle of the prostate gland. When the prostate enlarges, it narrows down the passage of the urinary tube. Hence, it blocks the urine flow and requires enlarged prostate treatment.

Many men experienced continued growth of the prostate throughout their life. On the other hand, some men experience this continued growth that enlarges the prostate and causes certain urinary symptoms or blocks urine flow.

The exact cause of prostate enlargement (BPH) is unclear, but it may result from hormonal imbalances as men age. Factors like testicular abnormalities or a family history of prostate issues can increase the risk. However, men who had their testicles removed at a young age do not develop BPH. Treatment options are available for those affected.

FAQs
Question:
Answer:
While there is no definitive cure for an enlarged prostate, several effective treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. These include: Medications like alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors Minimally invasive procedures such as transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) or microwave therapy Surgical options like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) The best approach depends on your specific symptoms and overall health. At SCI hospitals, our expert urologists can evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Question:
Answer:
An enlarged prostate typically does not shrink back to its original size on its own. However, treatments can help reduce the size of the prostate and alleviate symptoms. Medications like 5-alpha reductase inhibitors can shrink the prostate over time, while surgical procedures can remove excess prostate tissue. The specialists at SCI hospitals use advanced techniques to effectively manage enlarged prostates and improve urinary function.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
The most effective treatment varies depending on the severity of symptoms and individual factors. For many men, a combination of medications and lifestyle changes can provide significant relief. In more severe cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be recommended. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is often considered the gold standard surgical treatment for BPH. At SCI hospitals, our urology team offers a full range of state-of-the-art treatments to address enlarged prostates effectively.
