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.
Should I follow any diet to take care of my prostate?
It is good to drink at least 2 liters of water a day and avoid foods high in saturated fats, condiments, spices and pepper. It is also advisable to reduce the intake of coffee and alcohol, especially white drinks and beer.
Once BPH treatment has been performed, can it reproduce again?
Depending on the treatment, this may occur. Open surgery and prostatic enucleation with Holmium laser are the two treatments that manage to eliminate all the tissue preventing it from reproducing again. In any case, the specialist will assess the best treatment option for you and will inform you of the pros and cons of each of them.
Will the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia affect my sexual relations?
Depending on the treatment used, it may affect the patient's ejaculation. It is important to discuss this with the urologist.
