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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
