Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, commonly seen in men as they age. The prostate, located just below the bladder, tends to enlarge over time, leading to urinary flow issues.

An enlarged prostate can cause symptoms like weak urine flow, incomplete bladder emptying, and sometimes urinary retention. In severe cases, it may even affect kidney function due to backflow of urine.

Treatment for BPH depends on the severity of symptoms, prostate size, and overall health. Options include both medical management and advanced surgical treatments such as laser therapy for effective and long-lasting results.

  • Severity of urinary symptoms
  • Prostate gland size
  • Associated health conditions

Causes of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

The exact cause of prostate enlargement isn’t fully understood, but several risk factors increase the likelihood of developing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):

Age: Men over 40 are more likely to experience prostate enlargement due to natural hormonal changes with aging.

Family History: Having a close relative with prostate enlargement or prostate cancer increases your risk of developing BPH.

Diabetes and Heart Disease: Research suggests that men with diabetes or cardiovascular conditions are at a higher risk of BPH.

Lifestyle Factors: Obesity and lack of physical activity can contribute to prostate enlargement. Maintaining a healthy weight and regular exercise may help reduce risk.

Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

The severity of symptoms in prostate enlargement does not always depend on the size of the prostate. Some men with mild enlargement experience significant discomfort, while others with larger glands may have minimal symptoms.

Common symptoms of BPH include:

  • Frequent or urgent need to urinate (Frequency & Urgency)
  • Increased urination at night (Nocturia)
  • Difficulty starting urination (Hesitancy)
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow (Poor Stream)
  • Dribbling after urination (Post-void Dribbling)
  • Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying

Less common symptoms may include:

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Inability to urinate (Urinary Retention)
  • Blood in urine (Hematuria)

Diagnosis of Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

To diagnose Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and rule out other urinary conditions, your urologist may recommend several tests to assess prostate size, urinary flow, and overall urinary tract health.

Ultrasound (Abdomen and Pelvis): Helps determine prostate size and bladder function by measuring pre- and post-void urine volume to decide between medical or surgical treatment.

Digital Rectal Examination (DRE): The urologist gently examines the prostate through the rectum to check for enlargement, tenderness, or irregularities.

Complete Urine Examination: Identifies urinary tract infections or other conditions that can mimic BPH symptoms.

Blood Tests: Used to evaluate kidney function and rule out complications related to prostate enlargement.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: Measures PSA levels in the blood, which may rise due to prostate enlargement, infection, or prostate cancer.

Uroflowmetry: Assesses urine flow rate and strength to evaluate bladder outlet obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate.

TRUS-Guided Prostate Biopsy: A transrectal ultrasound-guided procedure that collects tissue samples to rule out prostate cancer when necessary.

Urodynamic and Pressure Flow Studies: Measures bladder pressure and function using a catheter to understand how the bladder responds during filling and emptying.

Cystoscopy: A flexible, lighted scope is inserted through the urethra under local anesthesia to visualize the prostate, bladder, and urinary tract for any obstruction or damage.

Treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Multiple treatment options are available for prostate enlargement. The best choice depends on your prostate size, age, symptom severity, and overall health condition.

1. Medical Treatment (Prescription-based)

For mild to moderate symptoms, your urologist may recommend:

  • Alpha Blockers: Relax prostate and bladder neck muscles for smoother urination. (e.g., Tamsulosin, Alfuzosin, Silodosin)
  • 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: Shrink prostate size over time. (e.g., Finasteride, Dutasteride)
  • Combination Therapy: Uses both alpha blockers and 5-AR inhibitors for enhanced results.
  • Tadalafil: May help relieve mild prostate symptoms along with improving erectile function.
2. Surgical Treatment

Surgery is advised for patients who do not respond to medications, have urinary retention, bladder stones, recurrent infections, or kidney issues.

Common Surgical Options:
  • Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): Standard procedure to remove excess prostate tissue using a resectoscope.
  • Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP): Suitable for smaller prostates; small cuts relieve urinary blockage.
  • Laser Therapy (HoLEP / ThuLEP): Advanced Holmium and Thulium laser procedures for precise tissue removal, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery — ideal for patients on blood thinners.
  • Prostatic Artery Embolization: A minimally invasive radiological procedure that reduces prostate size by blocking blood flow to the gland.
  • Open or Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy: Recommended only for very large prostates (>100cc) under specialist supervision.

At My Health Hospitals, Kukatpally, our expert urologists use the latest Holmium and Thulium laser systems for safer, faster, and more effective prostate treatments with minimal hospital stay.
