PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT

Prostate Enlargement Treatment

Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), is a common condition in ageing men. As the prostate increases in size, it may press against the urethra and affect the normal flow of urine. Patients may experience frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow, interrupted flow or a feeling that the bladder has not completely emptied. 

At Uro Health Care Hospital, Ambala, Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients experiencing symptoms related to prostate enlargement. The initial assessment may include understanding urinary symptoms, medical history and previous treatment. Investigations may be advised when required to assess the prostate and urinary system. 

Treatment planning depends on several factors, including: 

• Severity of urinary symptoms  

• Prostate size  

• Urine flow and bladder emptying  

• Overall health of the patient  

• Presence of urinary complications  

• Previous treatment history  

Depending on the individual case, treatment options may include medical management or minimally invasive procedures such as TURP and laser surgery of the prostate. 

When Should You Consult a Urologist? 

Seek medical consultation if you experience: 

• Difficulty starting urination  

• Weak or interrupted urine flow  

• Frequent urination  

• Increased night-time urination  

• Urgency to urinate  

• Difficulty completely emptying the bladder  

Early evaluation can help identify the cause of urinary symptoms and determine an appropriate treatment approach.
