Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate, is a common condition among aging men. Highst Urology Clinic offers modern medical and minimally invasive treatment options tailored to each patient’s condition, symptom severity, and lifestyle needs.
What is Enlarged Prostate (BPH)?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly occurs as men age. As the prostate enlarges, it can place pressure on the urethra and interfere with normal urinary flow.
BPH is not prostate cancer, but it may cause bothersome urinary symptoms that worsen over time if left untreated. At Highst Urology Clinic, we focus on accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment strategies designed to improve urinary function and long-term quality of life.
Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
The most common symptoms of BPH include:
Frequent Urination
Needing to urinate more often throughout the day and night.
Nocturia (Nighttime Urination)
Waking up multiple times during sleep to urinate.
Weak Urine Stream
Reduced urinary flow strength or difficulty maintaining a steady stream.
Difficulty Starting Urination
Trouble initiating urination despite feeling the urge to void.
Incomplete Bladder Emptying
A persistent sensation that the bladder is not fully emptied.
Urgency and Leakage
Sudden urges to urinate that may occasionally lead to leakage.
Interrupted Urination
Starting and stopping during urination due to obstructed urinary flow.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, professional urological evaluation is recommended to determine the severity of prostate enlargement and identify the most appropriate treatment options.
Causes of Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Several factors may contribute to the development of BPH.
Aging
Hormonal and cellular changes associated with aging are the most common causes of prostate enlargement.
Hormonal Changes
Changes in testosterone and other hormone levels may affect prostate growth over time.
Family History
Men with a family history of prostate enlargement may have a higher risk of developing BPH.
Obesity and Lifestyle Factors
Lack of physical activity, obesity, and poor metabolic health may contribute to urinary symptoms.
Chronic Health Conditions
Conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease may increase the likelihood of urinary dysfunction associated with BPH.
Diagnostic Evaluation for BPH
At Highst Urology Clinic, accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment planning.
Diagnostic Tests May Include:
- Prostate examination
- Urine flow analysis
- Ultrasound evaluation
- Residual urine measurement
- PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing
- Urinalysis
- Bladder function assessment
Our specialists carefully evaluate symptom severity, prostate size, urinary function, and overall health status to create a personalized treatment strategy.
