Possible Causes
Of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms don't always align with the size of the prostate—some with a small enlargement may experience severe symptoms, while others with significant enlargement might have mild or no symptoms.
At Advanced Urology, we thoroughly evaluate the root causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If you have a history of BPH-related issues, such as urinary problems, we can help prevent further complications. Our goal is to provide proactive care to reduce the chances of recurring symptoms or conditions associated with BPH.
When to See a Doctor for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Talk to your healthcare provider about your benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms, even if they don't seem bothersome. It's important to determine if there are treatable causes, as untreated BPH can increase the risk of serious urinary tract blockages.
While many associate BPH with urinary issues, symptoms can vary depending on factors such as prostate size and location. At Advanced Urology, we always evaluate the root cause of BPH to provide targeted treatment. If you experience trouble passing urine, pain, or other symptoms like blood in your urine, fever, or burning during urination, seek immediate medical attention, as these signs should not be ignored.
