Our Treatment
Conditions affecting the prostate gland, impacting urinary function and overall male health.
Prostate enlargement is a common age-related condition seen in men above 45 years. It often causes urinary symptoms such as difficulty in passing urine, weak urine flow, frequent urination at night, or a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. While these symptoms may begin gradually, ignoring them can lead to complications like urinary retention, repeated infections, and bladder or kidney damage.
At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, prostate enlargement is evaluated and treated through a structured urology-led approach focused on symptom relief and long-term urinary health.
Prostate enlargement, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a non-cancerous increase in the size of the prostate gland. As the prostate enlarges, it can press against the urethra and restrict urine flow. This condition is common with increasing age and does not mean prostate cancer.
Prostate enlargement is mainly linked to age-related hormonal changes in men. Factors such as family history, obesity, diabetes, and certain lifestyle habits may influence symptom severity. The enlargement happens gradually and varies from person to person.
Symptoms usually relate to urinary flow and bladder emptying.
| Symptom | What It May Indicate |
|---|---|
| Weak urine stream | Urethral compression by enlarged prostate |
| Difficulty starting urination | Increased resistance at bladder outlet |
| Frequent urination at night | Reduced bladder emptying |
| Urgency to urinate | Bladder irritation |
| Feeling of incomplete emptying | Residual urine in bladder |
Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a urologist.
You should consult a doctor if urinary symptoms interfere with daily activities, worsen over time, or are associated with pain, fever, blood in urine, or inability to pass urine. Early evaluation helps prevent complications.
Diagnosis typically includes:
These tests help determine prostate size, bladder function, and treatment suitability.
Treatment depends on symptom severity, prostate size, and overall health.
| Situation | What It Indicates | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Mild urinary symptoms | Early-stage enlargement | Medication and monitoring |
| Stable symptoms | Low complication risk | Regular follow-up |
| Night-time urination | Bladder irritation | Symptom-focused treatment |
| Older patients with mild discomfort | Slow progression | Observation |
Many patients experience symptom relief with medication alone.
| Procedure | When It Is Recommended | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate) | Moderate to severe obstruction | Improved urine flow |
| Laser Prostate Surgery | Enlarged prostate with blockage | Less bleeding, faster recovery |
| Catheter-based relief | Acute urinary retention | Immediate bladder decompression |
Procedure selection is individualised.
Doctors consider:
The goal is symptom relief with minimal intervention.
While prostate enlargement cannot be completely prevented, early evaluation and regular follow-up can reduce symptom progression and complications. Delaying treatment may increase the risk of urinary retention and infections.
Prostate enlargement treatment at Genesiss Hospital is guided by experienced urologists.
