Initially, medications such as alpha-blockers or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may be prescribed to relieve symptoms by reducing prostate size or relaxing prostate muscles.
This minimally invasive procedure, also known as GreenLight Laser Therapy, utilizes laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue, alleviating urinary obstruction while preserving healthy tissue.
For severe cases or when other treatments are ineffective, surgical procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or robotic-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, BPH treatments 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 stream. Early evaluation and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
While BPH cannot be entirely prevented, adopting a healthy lifestyle can reduce 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 consumption, 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 can be similar, so it's important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) depends on the severity of symptoms and can include:
Medications: Alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors to relieve symptoms or shrink the prostate.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques like UroLift, Rezum, or laser therapy to reduce prostate size and alleviate symptoms.
Surgery: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy for more severe cases.
Your healthcare provider will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your specific condition.

An enlarged prostate, or BPH, can sometimes lead to blood in the urine due to increased pressure on surrounding tissues. Managing this condition involves understanding the causes, like aging or hormonal changes, and exploring treatment options such as medication or surgery to improve urinary health and overall well-being.
Men with an enlarged prostate may benefit from Viagra, as it helps with both erectile dysfunction and urinary symptoms. However, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider to ensure safety, especially when taking other medications. Alternative treatments are available, so exploring all options is essential for managing symptoms effectively.
