Best Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)  treatment in Raipur, Chhattisgarh

What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is when the prostate and surrounding tissue expands. As you age, your prostate may get larger. BPH is when it gets large enough to cause problems. As the gland enlarges, it can squeeze the urethra. The bladder wall becomes thicker. Over time the bladder may weaken and lose the ability to empty fully. Urine then remains in the bladder. These problems cause many of the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of BPH. If you are not able to pass urine at all (called retention) or if you have renal failure, immediate attention is required.

What are the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

 

  • Needing to pass urine often.
  • Incomplete emptying: the feeling your bladder is full, even after passing urine.
  • Frequency: the need to pass urine often, about every one to two hours.
  • Intermittency: the need to stop and start several times when passing urine.
  • Urgency: feeling the urgent need to pass urine as if you can’t wait.
  • Weak stream: a weak urine flow.
  • Straining: trouble starting to pass urine or the need to push or strain to pass urine.
  • Nocturia: the need to wake up at night more than two times to pass urine.

How Can BPH Affect Your Life?

In most men, BPH gets worse with age. It can lead to bladder damage and infection. It can cause blood in the urine and cause kidney damage.

 

What are the causes of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

The causes of BPH are not clear. It mainly occurs in older men. Hormone changes are thought to play a role. Hormones from the testis may be the main factor.

Who is at Risk for BPH?

There are many risk factors for BPH. Men who are at a higher risk include:

  • Men over the age of 50 as the risk for BPH rises with age
  • Men whose fathers had BPH
  • Men who are overweight or obese
  • Men who don’t stay active

How is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) diagnosed?

  • Digital rectal exam (DRE) -During a DRE, you lie on your side or bend over. The doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum to feel the back wall of the prostate gland.
  • Uroflowmetry measures how fast urine flows. This is done to diagnose the problem.
  • Ultrasound to look inside the body and see the size and shape of the prostate. Post-void residual volume (PVR) measures urine left in the bladder after passing urine. This is done to diagnose the problem.
  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests are used to screen for prostate cancer. The PSA blood test checks the level of PSA, a protein made only by the prostate gland.

 

What are the treatment options for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) ?

 

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

TURP is a common surgery for BPH. TURP uses electric current or laser light to cut and remove tissue. This is done with anaesthesia and a tool called a resect scope inserted through the penis. The resect scope provides light, irrigating fluid and an electrical loop. The loop cuts tissue and seals blood vessels. The removed tissue is flushed into the bladder and out of the body with a catheter. Men who require surgery because of moderate to severe BPH symptoms may be good candidates for TURP.
