BPH/ Enlarged Prostate

Innovative, Patient-Centered Care for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, is a common condition affecting men as they age. While non-cancerous, BPH can cause uncomfortable urinary symptoms that interfere with daily life. At our urology clinic, we offer a full spectrum of cutting-edge treatments—including the latest technologies like Aquablation and Laser Enucleation of the Prostate—to restore urinary function and improve quality of life.

What Is BPH?

As men age, the prostate gland may grow and press against the urethra, disrupting normal urine flow. BPH is not cancer, but its symptoms can be significant.

Common Symptoms Include:

Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Weak or interrupted urine stream
Difficulty starting urination
Incomplete bladder emptying
Nighttime urination (nocturia)
Urinary retention or dribbling

Diagnosis

I will perform a thorough evaluation, which may include:

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)
PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test
Urinalysis
Transrectal ultrasound
Uroflowmetry/ Post-void residual testing
Cystoscopy (if needed)

These tools help us determine the severity of BPH and the best treatment path.

Treatment Options for BPH

Treatment depends on the size of the prostate, the severity of symptoms, and your overall health. We offer both medical management and advanced minimally invasive procedures.

1. Medication Therapy

For mild to moderate symptoms:

Alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) – relax prostate and bladder neck muscles
5-alpha reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride) – shrink the prostate over time
PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g., tadalafil or Cialis)- provide urinary relief and treatment for erectile dysfunction
Combination therapy for enhanced results

2. Minimally Invasive & Advanced Therapies

We are proud to offer the latest BPH treatments, designed to minimize downtime and preserve sexual function:

Aquablation®: A robotic-assisted, heat-free therapy that uses high-velocity water jets to remove excess prostate tissue with precision.
Optilume® BPH: A novel treatment combining balloon dilation and drug delivery to relieve obstruction and prevent scarring.
UroLift®: Small implants are placed to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra.
TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate): Removes prostate tissue using a scope
Laser Therapies (e.g., HoLEP, GreenLight): Vaporize or remove tissue with high precision
Robotic Simple Prostatectomy: For very large prostates

Start Feeling Like Yourself Again

Don’t let BPH disrupt your life. With today’s advanced treatments—including Aquablation and Optilume—you have more options than ever.
