As men grow older, prostate-related problems become increasingly common. One of the most frequently diagnosed conditions is Enlarged Prostate, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Many men ignore early symptoms assuming they are a normal part of ageing, but untreated prostate enlargement can seriously affect quality of life and urinary health.
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men. When it enlarges, it can press against the urinary passage and obstruct the normal flow of urine.
Common symptoms include frequent urination, especially at night, weak urine flow, difficulty starting urination, sudden urge to urinate, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
In severe cases, patients may even experience complete urinary blockage.
Dr. Nischith D’Souza provides advanced diagnosis and treatment for enlarged prostate in Mangalore using modern minimally invasive techniques.
Most prostate surgeries can now be performed endoscopically without large cuts or stitches.
These procedures offer faster recovery, less pain, and improved long-term urinary function.
Early treatment can help prevent bladder damage and kidney complications.
Many prostate conditions can initially be managed through medications, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring.
Reducing caffeine intake, avoiding excessive fluids before bedtime, and seeking early urology consultation can help manage symptoms effectively.
If you are above 50 years of age and experiencing urinary symptoms, early diagnosis and timely treatment can significantly improve comfort, sleep quality, and overall well-being.
