Prostate Enlargement (BPH) Treatment
Prostate enlargement, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is one of the most common urological conditions affecting men as they age. As the prostate gland enlarges, it can press against the urethra and interfere with normal urine flow, leading to bothersome urinary symptoms that can affect daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life.
At MITR Urology Associates, we provide comprehensive evaluation and advanced prostate enlargement treatment, offering both medical and surgical solutions tailored to each patient's condition and lifestyle.
What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and around the urethra. As men grow older, the prostate may gradually increase in size.
When the enlarged prostate begins to obstruct urine flow, it can cause a variety of urinary symptoms. Although BPH is not cancerous, it can significantly impact bladder function if left untreated.
Signs and Symptoms of Prostate Enlargement
Symptoms usually develop gradually and may worsen over time.
Frequent Urination
Needing to urinate more often than usual, especially during the day.
Night-Time Urination (Nocturia)
Waking up multiple times at night to pass urine.
Weak Urine Stream
Reduced force and flow while urinating.
Difficulty Starting Urination
Needing to strain or wait before urine flow begins.
Urgency to Urinate
A sudden and strong urge to pass urine.
Incomplete Bladder Emptying
Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely.
Dribbling After Urination
Leakage of urine after finishing urination.
Urinary Retention
In severe cases, complete inability to pass urine may occur and requires immediate medical attention.
When Should You Consult a Urologist?
You should seek medical evaluation if:
- Urinary symptoms are affecting your daily life
- You frequently wake up at night to urinate
- You experience difficulty passing urine
- You notice blood in urine
- You develop recurrent urinary infections

Many patients seek treatment when urinary symptoms begin interfering with sleep quality, work productivity, and social activities.

The risk of prostate enlargement increases significantly after the age of 50.

A detailed evaluation helps determine the severity of prostate enlargement and identify the most appropriate treatment plan.
Medical History and Symptom Assessment
Your doctor will review urinary symptoms, medical history, and overall health.
Physical Examination
A comprehensive examination helps assess prostate health.
PSA Blood Test
A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test may be recommended to evaluate prostate conditions.
Ultrasound Examination
Ultrasound helps assess prostate size and bladder function.
