📌 What Is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

BPH is the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland that compresses the urethra and obstructs urine flow. While not life-threatening, it can significantly affect quality of life, if left untreated.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Prostate Enlargement

  • Weak or interrupted urine stream

  • Difficulty starting urination

  • Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)

  • Urgency to urinate

  • Dribbling at the end of urination

  • Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

  • Urinary tract infections (in advanced cases)

⚠️ What happens if you leave an enlarged prostate untreated?

Without treatment, BPH can cause further blockage in your urethra, and your symptoms may worsen. It may also cause:

  • Urinary tract infection (UTI).
  • Bladder stones.
  • Blood in your pee (hematuria).
  • Kidney damage due to pee backflow from your bladder up to your kidney. The pee backflow increases pressure on your kidney.

🧪 Diagnostic Evaluation for BPH

Dr. Vaishnav performs a comprehensive evaluation using advanced tools to confirm BPH and rule out other causes:

  • Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)

  • Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test

  • Ultrasound of Prostate & Bladder (TRUS)

  • Uroflowmetry – Measures strength of urine flow

  • Post-Void Residual Urine Test

  • Cystoscopy (if needed) – To view the urethra and prostate from inside
