The latest treatments in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with the most pioneering technology to achieve the best results and quality of life for patients.
The treatment of prostatic hyperplasia depends largely on three factors: the degree of symptoms, the presence of complications and patient preference.
We can distinguish between medical and surgical treatment:
It is the treatment for most men with mild to moderate urinary symptoms. The risk of progression of prostate problems, which can reach up to 30% in large prostates, must be taken into account, as well as the efficacy and safety profile. Some prostate drug treatments cause sexual problems such as impotence, anejaculation or decreased sexual desire.
Its effects take some time to react, but this treatment reduces the risk of complications and the need for surgery in the long term. The main drawbacks are decreased sexual desire and possible erection problems.
When there are important symptoms or complications, the best alternative is surgery. Among the surgical options, there are minimally invasive ones that allow very short admissions and minimize the risk of complications.
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.
We may only need to do an ultrasound of the prostate, bladder and kidneys, along with a blood test.
Yes, some prostate medications worsen erection, sexual desire and ejaculation, but there are alternatives to improve symptoms without side effects.
Not at all. In recent years we have more and more technology that allows us to perform minimally invasive prostate surgery without causing sexual side effects.
