What is prostate enlargement (BPH)?
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. It causes weak stream, frequent urination, nocturia, urgency, and incomplete emptying. Severe BPH can lead to urinary retention requiring emergency catheterisation.
Medical Therapy
Alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors relieve symptoms and slow prostate growth in suitable patients.
TURP & Laser Procedures
Transurethral resection and holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) remove obstructing tissue for durable symptom relief.
Minimally Invasive Options
Water-jet ablation and other endoscopic techniques offer alternatives based on gland size and patient preference.

Common questions
- What are the signs of prostate enlargement (BPH)?
- Signs include weak or interrupted stream, difficulty starting urination, frequent urination especially at night, urgency, dribbling, and feeling the bladder is not empty. Men over 50 should seek evaluation if symptoms persist.
- How is BPH treated?
- Treatment ranges from medications (alpha blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors) to smaller procedures such as UroLift, as well as TURP, HoLEP, laser vaporisation and water-jet ablation. The choice depends on prostate size, symptoms and your goals.
- When should I see a urologist for prostate problems?
- See a urologist if you wake multiple times at night to urinate, strain to start urination, experience sudden urgency, have blood in urine, or cannot urinate at all - the last requires emergency care.
