What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition seen in men, especially after the age of 50. In this condition, the prostate gland becomes enlarged. The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and around the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body).

As the prostate grows bigger, it presses on the urethra and blocks the normal flow of urine. BPH is not cancer, but it can cause uncomfortable urinary problems if not treated on time.

At Ratna Memorial Hospital, we provide advanced and effective Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) treatment in Pune, helping patients live comfortably and confidently.

Common Symptoms of BPH

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may have BPH:

• Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
  
• Difficulty starting urination
  
• Weak urine flow
  
• Feeling that the bladder is not completely empty
  
• Dribbling at the end of urination
  
• Sudden, strong urge to urinate
  

These symptoms may start slowly and worsen over time. Early diagnosis can prevent complications.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of BPH is not fully known, but it is mainly linked to:

• Aging
  
• Hormonal changes in men
  
• Family history
  
• Lifestyle factors such as obesity and lack of physical activity
  

Men above 50 years are at higher risk of developing BPH.

Diagnosis of BPH

At Ratna Memorial Hospital, Pune, our specialists perform a detailed evaluation that may include:

• Physical examination
  
• Urine tests
  
• Blood tests (including PSA test)
  
• Ultrasound scan
  
• Uroflowmetry (urine flow test)
  

These tests help determine the size of the prostate and the severity of the blockage.

2. Medications

Medicines can help relax prostate muscles or shrink the prostate gland, improving urine flow and reducing symptoms.
