What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is the enlargement of the prostate gland which, because of its anatomical position, results in obstruction of the outflow of urine from the bladder. It is a common condition that affects men as they age.
This growth is not cancerous or related to prostate cancer, but it can interfere with the normal flow of urine by compressing the urethra. Although it is a benign process, its progression can significantly impact quality of life if not properly treated.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatic enlargement manifests itself mainly after the age of 40. At this age, 40% of men present symptoms of this disease, which are mainly manifested in alterations in urinary dynamics. This percentage increases by 10% as each decade progresses, so that almost all men over 80 years of age have urinary problems.
At ROC Clinic, we have a team specialized in the integral approach to BPH, offering personalized solutions and minimally invasive technologies that allow us to treat this condition safely, effectively and with rapid recovery.
They ask us in the Consultation
Is benign prostatic hyperplasia dangerous?
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not a cancer nor does it increase the risk of developing it, therefore, it is not a dangerous disease in itself. However, if not treated properly, it can lead to major complications that do seriously affect health and quality of life. Among the possible consequences of uncontrolled BPH are: acute urinary retention (inability to urinate), recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stone formation, progressive damage to the bladder or kidneys. Therefore, although it is not malignant, it does require medical attention and urological follow-up. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, BPH can be effectively controlled and complications avoided.
What is the prostate for?
The prostate helps us to maintain good urinary continence. It also produces much of the seminal fluid, which is like "gasoline" for the sperm.
What are the symptoms of an enlarged prostate?
There are many, but some of the most common are: getting up to urinate at night, urinating many times when getting up in the morning, dropping a few drops at the end of urination, weak urinary stream, having to strain to start urinating.
I urinate badly... What tests do I have to undergo?
We may only need to do an ultrasound of the prostate, bladder and kidneys, along with a blood test.
