Prostate Treatment

Conditions affecting the prostate gland, impacting urinary function and overall male health.

Prostate Enlargement (BPH) Treatment at Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital

Prostate enlargement is a common age-related condition affecting men, usually after the age of 45. It can lead to urinary difficulty, weak urine flow, frequent night-time urination, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. If ignored, prostate enlargement may cause urinary retention, repeated infections, and bladder or kidney damage.

At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, BTM Layout, Bangalore, prostate enlargement is managed through a structured, urology-led approach focused on symptom relief, urinary function preservation, and long-term quality of life.


What Is Prostate Enlargement?

  • Prostate enlargement, medically called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a non-cancerous increase in prostate size.
  • The enlarged prostate compresses the urethra, restricting urine flow.
  • BPH is not prostate cancer and does not mean cancer.
  • The condition progresses gradually and varies among individuals.

What Causes Prostate Enlargement?

  • Age-related hormonal changes in men.
  • Genetic or family history.
  • Obesity and metabolic disorders.
  • Diabetes and lifestyle factors.
  • Reduced bladder adaptability with age.

Symptoms of Prostate Enlargement

Prostate Symptoms and What They May Indicate

Symptom What It May Indicate
Weak urine stream Urethral compression by enlarged prostate
Difficulty starting urination Increased resistance at bladder outlet
Frequent night-time urination Reduced bladder emptying
Sudden urgency to urinate Bladder irritation
Feeling of incomplete emptying Residual urine in bladder
Straining during urination Outlet obstruction

Persistent symptoms should always be evaluated by a urologist.


When Should Prostate Enlargement Be Evaluated?

  • Urinary symptoms interfering with daily activities.
  • Worsening symptoms over time.
  • Blood in urine.
  • Fever, pain, or recurrent urinary infections.
  • Inability to pass urine (acute urinary retention).

Early evaluation helps prevent bladder and kidney complications.


How Prostate Enlargement Is Diagnosed

Diagnosis may include:

  • Clinical examination.
  • Ultrasound of prostate and bladder.
  • Urine tests.
  • Blood tests including PSA (when indicated).
  • Uroflowmetry to assess urine flow and bladder pressure.

Prostate Enlargement Treatment Options

Treatment is based on symptom severity, prostate size, bladder function, and patient health.


1️⃣ Medication & Observation (Conservative Management)

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 significant symptom relief with medication alone.


2️⃣ Procedure-Based Treatment for Prostate Enlargement

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 based on patient condition.


How Doctors Decide the Right Treatment

Doctors consider:

  • Severity of urinary symptoms.
  • Prostate size and bladder pressure.
  • Patient age and overall health.
  • Response to medications.
  • Risk of complications.

The goal is effective symptom relief with minimal intervention.


Can Prostate Enlargement Be Prevented?

Prostate enlargement cannot be completely prevented, but early evaluation, timely treatment, and regular follow-up help slow progression and reduce complications such as urinary retention and infections.
