Call Now: 044-4012-4012Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous prostate gland enlargement that can obstruct urine flow by pressing on the urethra. Though not linked to cancer, untreated BPH can lead to complications like urinary tract infections or kidney damage. Hormonal changes with aging are a primary cause, with global data estimating over 94 million cases in recent years.
BPH risk increases with age, affecting most men over 50. Family history, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease elevate the likelihood, while regular physical activity may reduce it. Early intervention is key to managing prostate enlargement effectively.
Enlarged prostate symptoms are common among aging men, with nearly 30% of those over 60 experiencing moderate to severe issues. Early recognition is important, as these symptoms can significantly impact daily comfort and quality of life.

Book ConsultationThe best option depends on prostate size and symptoms. TURP and HoLEP are highly effective, with 2025 studies showing over 80% symptom relief. Aquablation is ideal for preserving sexual function.
Recovery ranges from 1-2 weeks for TURP or HoLEP to 4-6 weeks for simple prostatectomy. Recent data highlights faster recovery with minimally invasive techniques.
Risks include bleeding, infection, or sexual dysfunction, but advanced techniques like Aquablation reduce these, with studies showing improved outcomes.
Some procedures, like TURP, may cause retrograde ejaculation, but HoLEP and Aquablation often preserve function, per 2025 research.
Surgery is recommended for severe symptoms or complications like urinary retention. Our urologists assess your condition to determine the best approach.
