The prostate gland is located in front of the bladder and plays a crucial role in semen production. Sometimes noncancerous cells grow within the prostate, causing it to enlarge, resulting in a condition termed as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This abnormal growth tends to press against the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.

Dr. Mourad Abouelleil is a renowned urologist in West Palm Beach, Florida, who specializes in treating and curing urological issues. He has treated and cured many patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia by removing obstacles interrupting normal urination.

Treatments for BPH

Dr. Mourad Abouelleil provides treatment options for BPH depending on a few factors, including the size of your prostate, your age, your symptoms and your overall health. The most common treatments for BPH include:

Medication

Doctor usually recommends a variety of medications to treat BPH. These include:

  • Alpha Blockers – Relaxes muscle fibers in the prostate
  • 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors – Shrinks the prostate
Minimally Invasive Surgery

If BPH doesn’t respond to medication, minimally invasive procedures are the recommended remedy. We also suggest surgical intervention for men with urethral stricture disease, persistent urinary tract infections, or neurological disorders. The most common surgical procedures include:

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

The doctor will remove the inner portion of the prostate by inserting a lighted scope through the urethra. Patients can experience instant relief from the symptom.

Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP)

The procedure involves making 2 tiny incisions in the prostate to reduce pressure on the urethra for easier evacuation.

Transurethral Microwave Thermotherapy (TUMT)

The procedure sends special microwave energy into the prostate to reduce its size and destroy inner tissue.

Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA)

The procedure involves use of needles which are inserted into the prostate through a urethral scope. Thereafter, radio waves are sent into the needles to remove excess tissue and offering relief from symptoms.
