Understanding BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate enlargement, is a common condition among men, particularly as they age. It occurs in 8% of men between 31 and 40 years of age. In men over 80, more than 80% will have prostatic hyperplasia. BPH involves an enlarged prostate gland, which can lead to urinary problems and impact quality of life.

Symptoms

Frequent urination (day and night)
Weak and interrupted urine stream
Urine leak or drip

How do we make the diagnosis

The diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) involves a thorough process to understand the extent and impact of the condition. Our diagnostic approach includes several key steps designed to provide accurate evaluation and personalized treatment recommendations.
Rectal exam: It evaluates the size and contour of the gland and helps determine if there are signs suggestive of prostate cancer.
Urine test: To check for infection.
Blood tests: To evaluate prostatic specific antigen (PSA).
Urodynamic studies: Sometimes necessary in patients with signs and symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia.
How We Help

Treatment options for an enlarged prostate

Medication

Initially, medications such as alpha-blockers or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms by reducing prostate size or relaxing prostate muscles.

Green Light Laser

This minimally invasive procedure, also known as GreenLight laser therapy, uses laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue, alleviating urinary obstruction while preserving healthy tissue.

Surgical Intervention

For severe cases or when other treatments are not effective, surgical procedures such as transurethral prostate resection (TURP) or robot-assisted prostatectomy may be recommended to remove excess prostate tissue and improve urinary flow.

Are there risks associated with BPH treatments?

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. However, treatments for BPH are generally safe and serious complications are rare. Dr. Cumming will discuss the specific risks and benefits of each treatment option during your consultation to help you make an informed decision.

How long does it take to recover after treatment for BPH?

Recovery time varies depending on the type of treatment. Minimally invasive procedures generally have shorter recovery times, allowing patients to return to normal activities within a few days to a week. More invasive surgeries may require a longer recovery period, ranging from a few weeks to a month.

When should I see a doctor for BPH?

You should see a doctor if you experience any urinary symptoms that affect your quality of life, such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or a weak urine flow. Early evaluation and treatment can help control symptoms and prevent complications.

How can I prevent BPH?

While BPH can't be completely prevented, adopting a healthy lifestyle can lower your risk. This includes maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying physically active, avoiding excessive alcohol and caffeine, and not smoking.

¿La Hiperplasia Prostática Benigna (HPB) conduce al cáncer?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) does not lead to prostate cancer. BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, while prostate cancer is a separate condition. However, symptoms of BPH and prostate cancer may be similar, so it's important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

¿Qué tratamiento es adecuado para mí?

El tratamiento para la Hiperplasia Prostática Benigna (HPB) depende de la gravedad de los síntomas e incluye:

Medicamentos: Bloqueadores alfa y inhibidores de la 5-alfa reductasa para aliviar los síntomas o reducir el tamaño de la próstata.

Procedimientos mínimamente invasivos: Técnicas como UroLift, Rezum o terapia con láser para reducir el tamaño de la próstata y aliviar los síntomas.

Cirugía: Resección transuretral de la próstata (RTUP) o prostatectomía abierta para casos más graves.Tu proveedor de atención médica recomendará el tratamiento más adecuado según tu condición específica.
