Benign Prostatatic Hyperplasia Treatment

Benign prostatatic hyperplasia treatment describes various procedures to treat an enlarged prostate.

Benign prostatatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. It is one of the most common urological problems in older men, with a 50% incidence rate for those above 50 years old.

Men with benign prostatic hyperplasia typically exhibit one or more symptoms like difficulty in starting urination, weak urine stream and frequent urination.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment can be divided broadly into medical and surgical therapy. Surgery remains the most effective method of treatment when BPH symptoms are significantly severe. The current gold standard for the surgical benign prostate hyperplasia treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), but less invasive procedures, like photo-vaporization of the prostate (PVP) (also called Green Light Laser Therapy) are also widely used.

You will find urology doctors who perform benign prostatatic hyperplasia treatment listed below.
