Episode Details

As men age, they frequently develop benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate gland pressing against the urethra may cause urinary problems, such as difficulty initiating or halting urination, frequent urination, and a weak stream of urine. Many men have these symptoms without realising they are caused by an enlarged prostate. 

In this episode of the Enlarged Prostate Podcast, we delve into why BPH occurs, its relationship with ageing, and the hormonal changes that contribute to its development. We also go over the typical signs of an enlarged prostate and how they affect day-to-day activities. Early detection of these symptoms is essential, as they may indicate an underlying problem that requires attention. BPH can be identified and distinguished from other prostate-related disorders with the use of standard testing and examinations.

Join the PACE Hospitals podcast with Dr Abhik Debnath, Consultant Urologist at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, as he discusses his knowledge of the several BPH treatment choices. There are various approaches to treat this problem and enhance prostate health, including medication, lifestyle modifications, and even minimally invasive treatments.
