Enlarge Prostate Treatment
Dr. Lomesh Kapadnis, a leading urologist in Nashik, providing specialized care for conditions such as an enlarged prostate.
If your enlarged prostate symptoms are mild and not bothersome, there’s likely no need for treatment. One-third of men with mild BPH find that their symptoms clear up without treatment and only with lifestyle modifications. They may just watch and wait with changes in lifestyle suggested by Urologist .
However, when enlarged prostate symptoms are bothersome or are affecting your quality of life or overall health, it’s time to talk to your Urologist about the treatment options. Together we will determine if you would benefit most from medication, a minimally invasive procedure, or surgery.
Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate:
- ⦿ Frequent urination, especially at night
- ⦿ Weak or interrupted urine flow
- ⦿ Difficulty starting or stopping urination
- ⦿ Inability to fully empty the bladder
- ⦿ Urinary urgency
- ⦿ Blood in the urine
- ⦿ Urinary tract infections
Treatment Options:
Our clinic offers tailored treatments for enlarged prostate:
- Medication: Prescription drugs can help alleviate symptoms by relaxing the prostate and improving urine flow.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques such as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) involve removing excess prostate tissue to relieve obstruction endoscopically by passing the endoscopic instruments per urethrally.
- Laser Therapy: Procedures like GreenLight Laser Therapy uses laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue and restore normal urine flow. There are different types of prostate laser surgery such as:
Holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP). This is a similar procedure to PVP, except that a different type of laser is used to melt away (vaporize) the excess prostate tissue.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). The laser is used to cut and remove the excess tissue that is blocking the urethra. Another instrument, called a morcellator, is then used to chop the prostate tissue into small pieces that are easily removed.
- UroLift® System: This innovative technique involves lifting and holding the enlarged prostate tissue using small implants, reducing obstruction.
- Open Surgery: In severe cases, open surgery may be necessary to remove the prostate tissue causing the blockage.
