Understanding BPH
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as prostate enlargement, is one of the most common urological conditions in men above 50 years of age. It occurs when the prostate gland grows in size and compresses the urethra, leading to bothersome urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urinary stream, urgency, or incomplete bladder emptying.
Comprehensive Management of BPH
1. Medical Management
For men with mild to moderate symptoms, medical therapy remains the first line of treatment. We offer a full range of medications including:
Alpha blockers (Tamsulosin, Silodosin) to relax prostate muscles.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors (Finasteride, Dutasteride) to reduce prostate size.
Combination therapy for improved outcomes.
Newer agents targeting bladder overactivity and nocturia.
All medication plans are customized based on prostate size, symptom severity, and overall health.
2. Minimally Invasive and Surgical Therapies
When symptoms persist despite medical management, advanced procedural options provide long-term relief. At our center, we offer state-of-the-art surgical and laser treatments, ensuring minimal downtime and faster recovery.
a. TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate)
The gold standard for decades — removal of obstructing prostate tissue through the urethra, offering excellent results for moderate prostate enlargement.
b. Bipolar TURP & Plasma Kinetic Resection
Safer and more efficient than traditional TURP with reduced bleeding and shorter hospital stay.
c. Laser Prostate Surgery (HoLEP & Thulium Laser Enucleation)
The Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is the most advanced and durable surgical option for BPH, effective even for very large prostates.
Advantages:
Complete tissue removal
Minimal bleeding
Short catheter time
Early discharge
Tissue available for histopathology
d. UroLift System (Novel Minimally Invasive Therapy
A no-cut, day-care procedure that lifts and holds enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, improving urine flow without affecting sexual function. Ideal for younger men and those unfit for surgery.
Uses the natural energy of steam to shrink prostate tissue. Performed under local anaesthesia as a daycare procedure — offering quick relief with preserved ejaculation.
f. Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE)
An advanced interventional radiology procedure that shrinks the prostate by blocking its blood supply — suitable for high-risk or elderly patients.
3. Robotic and Endoscopic Innovations
Our centre is among the leading urology centres in India with expertise in robotic and laser-based BPH surgeries. The use of robotic precision and high-definition 3D vision ensures minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and outstanding long-term outcomes.
Our centre offers integrated care with advanced diagnostics including uroflowmetry, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), PSA testing, cystoscopy, and MRI prostate for comprehensive evaluation.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
A: BPH, or prostate enlargement, is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland that commonly affects men as they age. It can cause urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine stream, urgency, or incomplete bladder emptying. Early evaluation helps rule out other serious conditions and ensures timely treatment.
Q: When should I see a urologist for prostate enlargement?
A: You should consult a urologist if you experience:
Frequent night-time urination (nocturia)
Weak or interrupted urine flow
Difficulty starting urination
Urgency or dribbling after urination
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Persistent symptoms can affect kidney function and bladder health, so early medical attention is important.
Q: What are the latest and most effective treatments for BPH?
A: Modern management of BPH includes both medical and minimally invasive options.
Depending on the prostate size and symptoms, treatments include:
Medications (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors)
Laser surgeries like HoLEP or Thulium laser
Novel therapies such as UroLift, Rezūm water vapor therapy, and Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE)
These offer excellent relief with minimal downtime and preservation of sexual function.
Q: Is BPH surgery safe? Will it affect my sexual or urinary control?
A: Modern BPH surgeries, especially laser and minimally invasive techniques, are very safe. Procedures like HoLEP and UroLift have minimal risk of incontinence or erectile dysfunction. Recovery is typically fast, and most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
Q: How do I choose the best treatment for BPH?
The ideal treatment depends on factors such as prostate size, severity of symptoms, age, and overall health. At Our Clinic, every patient receives a personalized treatment plan after detailed evaluation using uroflowmetry, ultrasound, and prostate-specific tests.
Q: What is the cost of treatment?
A: It depends on procedure type and hospital stay; affordable options are available.
