Modern Approaches to Prostate Enlargement
As Metropol Health Group, we are at your side with our expert staff in the treatment of benign prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia – BPH). The enlargement of the prostate with age can lead to urination problems by narrowing the urinary tract. This is a common condition that affects quality of life, but can be effectively treated with modern medical methods.
What are the Symptoms of Prostate Enlargement?
- Weak or Intermittent Urine Flow: Slow or abrupt cessation of urine flow.
- Difficulty Starting Urination: Difficulty or delay in starting to urinate.
- Frequent Need to Urinate: Frequent trips to the toilet at night.
- Discomfort when urinating: Burning or pain sensation.
- Feeling that the bladder is not completely empty: Feeling that the bladder is full even after urinating.
How Is Prostate Enlargement Diagnosed?
- Physical Examination: The doctor performs a physical examination to assess the size of the prostate.
- PSA Test: Provides information about prostate health by measuring the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood.
- Urinalysis: This is done to detect infection or other problems.
- Uroflowmetry: Measures the flow rate of urine and assesses the degree of obstruction.
- Ultrasound Shows the size and condition of the prostate and bladder.
Treatment Methods
- Medication:
Medications that shrink or relax the prostate tissue are used to relieve symptoms and facilitate urine flow. - Minimally Invasive Methods:
- HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate): Enlarged prostate tissue is removed using a laser.
- Water Vapor Therapy: Water vapor is used to shrink the prostate tissue and improve urine flow.
- Surgical Interventions:
- TUR-P (Transurethral Prostate Resection): Part of the enlarged prostate tissue is removed by entering through the urinary tract, thus facilitating urine flow.
