Enlarged Prostate Treatment - Procedure & Operation Benefits
Frequent urination, weak urine flow, or difficulty starting and stopping urination could indicate an enlarged prostate — a condition medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is common in men as they age and can cause significant urinary discomfort or disrupt daily life.

Enlarged Prostate Treatment
An enlarged prostate, also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), occurs when the prostate gland grows in size and begins to press against the urethra, causing urinary problems. Common symptoms include frequent urination, weak urine stream, incomplete bladder emptying, or nighttime urination. It typically affects older men and can disrupt daily life and sleep.
Treatment options include:
Medications to relax or shrink the prostate
Minimally invasive procedures like TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)
Laser prostatectomy for precision and quicker healing
All are tailored to the severity of symptoms and overall health.
Most patients resume routine activities within a few days. After surgical procedures, mild burning sensation or increased urgency may be felt for a few days. Full recovery typically takes 1–2 weeks.
Modern treatments for BPH are highly effective in reducing symptoms, improving urinary flow, and reducing long-term complications. Laser and TURP techniques provide lasting relief.
You may be eligible if you experience:
Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Weak or interrupted urine flow
Incomplete bladder emptying
Nighttime urination disrupting sleep
Improved urinary control and bladder emptying
Quick recovery with minimal discomfort
Outpatient or short-stay procedures
Less risk of complications with modern methods
Mild side effects may include temporary burning during urination, bleeding, or urgency. Rarely, retrograde ejaculation or urinary tract infection may occur, but are manageable with follow-up care.

An enlarged prostate, also called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), means your prostate gland has grown bigger. It's common in men as they age and can press against the urethra, causing urinary problems.
You may experience:
Frequent urge to urinate (especially at night)
Weak urine stream
Difficulty starting urination
Feeling like your bladder isn’t empty
Dribbling after urination
No. BPH is not cancer and does not increase the risk of prostate cancer. However, the symptoms can be similar, so a proper check-up is necessary.
If symptoms bother your daily life or sleep, or you have complications like urinary retention or infections, it’s time to consider treatment.
Treatment depends on how severe your symptoms are:
Lifestyle changes (e.g., reducing caffeine/alcohol)
Medicines (to shrink or relax the prostate)
Minimally invasive procedures (like UroLift or Rezūm)
Surgery (like TURP or laser surgery) for serious cases
Yes. Medicines can help reduce symptoms by relaxing the prostate muscles or shrinking the gland over time. Common types include alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a common surgery where a part of the prostate is removed through the urethra—no external cuts are made. It helps improve urine flow.
Most modern treatments are minimally painful and done under anesthesia. Recovery is usually fast, and discomfort can be managed with medication.
Some treatments may cause side effects like reduced ejaculation or erectile issues, but not always. Many men continue to have a normal sex life. Your doctor will explain all options and risks.
Sometimes, especially if only medicine is used. Surgical treatments offer longer-lasting results. Regular follow-ups help track and manage any recurrence.
