1 Reaction@hanksgt, an enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a health issue that becomes more common with age. You can read more about BPH in this article from Mayo Clinic:
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia/symptoms-causes/syc-20370087
See this page for a description of treatment options https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20370093
@vincescs and @medinfo1 both ask good questions of you. Knowing the answers to those questions and discussing them with your doctor can help guide your decision about choosing the treatment option best for you.
What treatment has your doctor suggested for you?
