Apex Multispeciality Hospital : Kopar Khairane
Getting up repeatedly at night or waiting for urine to start can become tiring. An enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH, is one possible cause. Assessment helps distinguish it from infection, bladder problems and other prostate conditions.
For an assessment in Kopar Khairane, contact Apex Multispeciality Hospital in Sector 19, near MSEB. The appointment team can confirm the relevant consultant’s availability and whether the required service is provided at the hospital. |
A weak stream, hesitancy, dribbling, urgency or a feeling of incomplete emptying may occur. The amount of enlargement does not always match how troublesome the symptoms are.
The doctor may ask about symptoms, medicines and sleep, then advise urine tests, a physical examination and an ultrasound or urine-flow test. PSA testing may be discussed after explaining its benefits and limitations. PSA alone does not diagnose prostate cancer.
Mild symptoms may be managed with monitoring and practical changes, such as reviewing evening drinks without becoming dehydrated. Prescription medicines can improve flow or reduce prostate size in suitable patients. Persistent troublesome symptoms or complications may lead to discussion of surgery, including TURP or an appropriate laser procedure where available.
Medicines can cause side effects, including dizziness or sexual changes. Procedures have risks such as bleeding, infection, altered ejaculation, urinary leakage or narrowing of the urinary passage. A catheter may be needed after surgery. Discuss sexual function, recovery and whether further treatment could be needed before deciding.
A painful inability to pass urine is urgent. Fever with urinary symptoms or significant bleeding also needs prompt assessment.
Bring your previous reports and a list of medicines, including non-prescription products. Ask the doctor what the proposed treatment is intended to achieve, what alternatives are available and what follow-up will involve. Tell the team about any allergies or earlier problems with anaesthesia.
For current consultation fees or a treatment estimate, contact Apex Hospital. The amount depends on the assessment, investigations and care required. Ask what is included and whether any follow-up, medicines or consumables are billed separately.
No. BPH is non-cancerous enlargement, but both conditions can occur in the same person. Symptoms should still be assessed.
No. Monitoring or medicines may be enough, depending on symptoms and complications.
No. Fluid intake, diabetes, sleep conditions and bladder problems can also contribute.
