Treatment exists and ranges from medicine to minimally invasive surgery.
“In some cases, the solution is a minimally invasive procedure known as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate, a common procedure with patients back home after two to three days in hospital,” he said.The procedure, he said, was recommended when an enlarged prostate failed to respond to medication.
Symptoms include difficulty when starting to urinate, or being unable to empty the bladder fully, having to strain to pass urine, having a weak urine flow, or stopping and starting, including sudden urges to urinate or a frequent need to urinate, including at night . “Not all men with enlarged prostates require this procedure. Medication helps if diagnosed early. I recommend all men over 40 should see a urologist annually to check for a cancerous or enlarged prostate,” said Duvenage.
