Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH), also known as benign prostatic enlargement, is a common condition in which the prostate gland enlarges non-cancerously as men age. The enlarged prostate can compress the urethra, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying.
BPH is typically diagnosed through a combination of patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests, such as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, digital rectal exam (DRE), and ultrasound. Treatment options for BPH vary depending on the severity of symptoms and may include lifestyle modifications, medications, and surgical interventions. Medications, such as alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, can help alleviate symptoms and reduce prostate size.
In cases where medications are ineffective, surgical procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or laser therapy may be recommended to remove excess prostate tissue and relieve symptoms.
