Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Enlarged Prostate) Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata

Symptoms

Some of the common symptoms include: 

  • Urinating more often at night

  • Urgency or more frequent urination

  • Weak urine stream

  • Trouble in starting the urine

  • Dribbling at the end of urination

  • Not being able to empty the bladder

Causes

The prostate gland is an organ located below the bladder. The urethra, which carries both urine and semen out of the body, passes through the centre of the prostate and extends through the penis. As the prostate gland enlarges, it compresses the urethra and obstructs the flow of urine. The cause of this continued growth is not fully understood but may be linked to age-related hormonal changes (especially DHT and oestrogen levels).

Diagnosis

  • A digital rectal exam is performed to determine prostate enlargement by inserting a finger into your rectum.

  • Urine and blood tests are used to detect different health concerns.

  • Confirmatory tests, such as the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, urine flow test, and post-void residual volume test, are recommended.

  • Imaging tests and a biopsy may also be necessary.
