Prostate enlargement mostly affects men after the age of 50 years. The exact cause behind this condition is yet unknown to medical science. 

However, it is believed that hormonal changes that occur in men due to ageing may be a factor for causing BPH. 

• Digital rectal exam
• Urine test
• Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test 
• Blood test 
• Postvoid residual volume test
• Transrectal ultrasound
• Urodynamic and pressure-flow studies
• Prostate biopsy

Your treatment protocol will depend upon the size of your prostate, age, overall health and the extremity of your symptoms. Listed below are some common options to treat enlarged prostate:

Medication: Specific medications are offered to shrink the size of the prostate to its original size and to prevent your hormones to further advance prostate growth. 

TURP: TURP stands for Transurethral resection of the prostate. In this procedure, a lighted scope is used to remove the outer growth of the prostate. 

LASER treatment: LASER-assisted treatment involves the use of the high-energy laser to remove the extra growth of tissues on the prostate. 

Open surgery: An open surgery is a traditional procedure in which your surgeon makes a large incision in your lower abdomen to access your prostate and remove excessive tissues. 

Along with the above-given treatment methods, your healthcare provider will give you personalised guidance on your lifestyle habits for a faster recovery.
