Benign Prostate Disease (BPH)

What is Benign Prostate Disease (BPH)?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, commonly occurring in men as they age. The enlarged prostate presses on the urethra, leading to urinary issues. BPH is not life-threatening but can significantly impact quality of life if untreated.

Causes of BPH:

  • Aging: The risk of BPH increases with age, particularly in men over 50.
  • Hormonal Changes: Changes in testosterone and estrogen levels with age can contribute to prostate enlargement.
  • Genetics: Family history of BPH may increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor diet may also contribute to BPH.

Symptoms of BPH:

  • Frequent need to urinate, especially at night (nocturia)
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
  • Urinary urgency or inability to delay urination
  • Dribbling at the end of urination

Treatment Options for BPH:

  • Lifestyle Modifications: Reducing fluid intake before bedtime, limiting caffeine, and engaging in regular exercise.
  • Medications: Alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors to relax prostate muscles and reduce prostate size.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques like UroLift or Transurethral Microwave Therapy (TUMT) to relieve pressure on the urethra.
  • Surgical Options: In severe cases, procedures like Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) or laser therapy may be recommended to remove excess prostate tissue.

With extensive experience and a patient-focused approach, Dr. Swapnil Singh Kushwaha provides effective solutions for BPH, improving urinary function and enhancing quality of life for his patients in Vaishali, Ghaziabad.
