Assessing symptoms · Restoring urinary comfort
Enlarged prostate treatment starts by measuring its effect on you.
From observation and medication to endoscopy and laser treatment, the plan is chosen according to symptom severity, prostate size and bladder function.
Symptoms worth assessing
When urination becomes slower or more frequent, look for the reason.
An enlarged prostate can press on the urethra and cause a weak stream, hesitancy, intermittency, a feeling of incomplete emptying or waking at night to urinate.
When should you book an appointment?
- Persistent symptoms that affect sleep or daily activities.
- Urinary retention, blood in the urine or recurrent infections.
- Symptoms that do not improve despite following treatment.
