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

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
