What is Prostatic Enlargement?

Prostatic enlargement, also known as an enlarged prostate or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in men, especially after the age of 50. The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and around the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). When the prostate enlarges, it can press on the urethra and cause urinary problems.

At Ratna Memorial Hospital, we provide advanced and effective prostatic enlargement treatment in Pune with experienced urologists and modern medical technology.

Causes of Prostatic Enlargement

Prostatic enlargement mainly occurs due to age-related hormonal changes in men. While the exact cause is not fully known, the risk increases with:

• Growing age (especially above 50 years)
  

• Family history of prostate problems
  

• Hormonal imbalance
  

• Lifestyle factors such as obesity and lack of exercise
  

This condition is non-cancerous, but it can affect quality of life if not treated properly.

Symptoms of Prostatic Enlargement

Men with enlarged prostate may experience:

• Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
  

• Difficulty in starting urination
  

• Weak or slow urine stream
  

• Interrupted urine flow
  

• Feeling that the bladder is not completely empty
  

• Dribbling at the end of urination
  

• Sudden, urgent need to pass urine
  

If ignored, severe cases may lead to urinary retention, bladder infections, or kidney problems. Early consultation is important to avoid complications.

Prostatic Enlargement Treatment in Pune

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and overall health of the patient.

1. Medications

In early stages, medicines are prescribed to relax prostate muscles or reduce the size of the prostate. This helps improve urine flow and reduce symptoms.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

For moderate to severe cases, advanced procedures may be recommended, such as:

• Laser prostate surgery
  

• TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)
  

• Other endoscopic treatments
  

These procedures are safe, effective, and usually require a short hospital stay with faster recovery.

3. Surgical Treatment

In rare and complicated cases, surgical removal of excess prostate tissue may be necessary.

At Ratna Memorial Hospital, we use modern techniques that ensure minimal pain, reduced bleeding, and quick return to normal life.
