Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Expert Care for Enlarged Prostate Symptoms

Dr. Horovitz offers advanced and personalized treatment options for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that affects the prostate gland in men, particularly as they age. BPH, or an enlarged prostate, can lead to uncomfortable urinary symptoms, such as difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow, and frequent urination, especially at night. Dr. Horovitz provides a range of innovative treatments to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

What Is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

BPH occurs when the prostate gland, which surrounds the urethra, enlarges and begins to compress the urethra, leading to urinary difficulties. Though BPH is not cancerous, its symptoms can significantly impact daily activities and well-being. Early intervention can prevent further complications like urinary retention or kidney damage.

Symptoms of BPH include:

• Difficulty starting urination

• Weak or interrupted urine flow

• Frequent need to urinate, especially at night

• Inability to empty the bladder

• Urgent need to urinate

Treatment Options for BPH

Dr. Horovitz offers a variety of BPH treatments tailored to each patient’s specific condition and lifestyle. These include minimally invasive and medical approaches, ensuring patients receive the most effective and least invasive care possible.

• Medication: In many cases, medications can relax the muscles in the prostate or shrink the gland, helping to alleviate symptoms.

• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Dr. Horovitz specializes in procedures like UroLift®, which lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, allowing urine to flow freely. This outpatient procedure offers quick relief with minimal downtime.

• Laser Therapy: Laser treatments like GreenLight Laser Therapy can remove or shrink excess prostate tissue, improving urine flow without more invasive surgery.

• Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): For more severe cases, Dr. Horovitz may recommend TURP, a surgical procedure that removes part of the prostate to relieve obstruction.
