About Prostate Enlargement

Prostate enlargement, medically termed Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland that commonly affects men over 50. A urologist performs various procedures to relieve the urinary symptoms caused by this enlargement, such as a weak stream, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. Treatment options range from minimally invasive therapies to surgical interventions. The goal is to reduce or remove excess prostate tissue, thereby opening the urethra and restoring normal urine flow. The specific procedure chosen depends on the size of the prostate, the severity of symptoms, and the patient's overall health, with the aim of significantly improving quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

Amit Jones, a 58-year-old high school...

Amit Jones, a 58-year-old high school history teacher and avid gardener, had been struggling for nearly two years. His nights were constantly interrupted by the urgent need to urinate, sometimes 4-5 times, leaving him exhausted. During his beloved weekend hikes with his wife, he was always scanning for the nearest restroom, and the weak, hesitant stream was a constant source of frustration and embarrassment. After his primary care doctor ruled out other issues, he was referred to urologist Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and, after discussing Amit's active lifestyle and desire to avoid major surgery, recommended a minimally invasive procedure called UroLift. The outpatient procedure, performed under light sedation, was quick. Amit felt some discomfort and urgency for the first week, but within a month, the improvement was dramatic. He slept through the night and could finally enjoy a long hike without anxiety. Emotionally, he moved from feeling old and limited to reclaiming his vitality and the simple joys of his daily life, feeling a profound sense of relief and gratitude.
