Enlarged Prostate (BPH): Symptoms & Treatment Options

enlarged prostate (bph): symptoms & treatment options

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that can make everyday routines more challenging by causing urinary frequency, a weak stream, or difficulty fully emptying your bladder. With guidance from MINT, you can access modern, minimally invasive treatment options that help restore comfort and ease. As you work toward better urinary health, you may also benefit from supportive elements of your overall care that contribute to long-term well-being.

BPH happens when the prostate enlarges over time and places pressure on the urethra. Even though it isn’t cancerous, it can significantly impact your daily comfort, sleep, and confidence. Understanding how BPH develops empowers you to choose the treatment path that aligns best with your goals.

Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

BPH can lead to a range of urinary symptoms, including:

  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow
  • Feeling unable to fully empty your bladder
  • Urgency that is difficult to control
  • Dribbling after urination

If symptoms progress, they can interfere with both comfort and quality of life.

Treatment Options for BPH

Lifestyle and Symptom Management

Simple adjustments, including fluid timing, bladder training, or medication, may help reduce symptoms and improve daily comfort.

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE)

PAE is a minimally invasive treatment that decreases blood flow to the prostate, causing it to shrink naturally. This option provides relief without major surgery or extended recovery.

Monitoring

In some cases, your provider may recommend regular follow-up to track changes and ensure symptoms remain manageable.
