What Is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?

BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects men over 50. As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra and interfere with normal urine flow, leading to frustrating and sometimes disruptive urinary symptoms.


Common BPH Symptoms

  • Frequent urination—especially at night (nocturia)

  • Weak or interrupted urine stream

  • Sudden urgency to urinate

  • Difficulty starting urination

  • Incomplete bladder emptying

  • Dribbling at the end of urination

These symptoms may worsen over time and affect your sleep, productivity, and quality of life. The good news? You have options.


Diagnosis and Evaluation

Dr. Samadi begins with a comprehensive evaluation, which may include:

  • Digital rectal exam (DRE)

  • PSA blood test to rule out prostate cancer

  • Urine flow study or post-void residual measurement

  • Cystoscopy or prostate ultrasound, if needed

This ensures a precise diagnosis and helps determine which treatment is most effective for your condition.


BPH Treatment Options Offered by Dr. Samadi

1. Lifestyle Changes & Medications (Mild to Moderate Cases)

  • Limiting evening fluid intake

  • Avoiding caffeine and alcohol

  • Alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) to relax prostate muscles

  • 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to shrink the prostate

These treatments may help early-stage BPH, but they don’t work for everyone and can have side effects like dizziness or sexual dysfunction.


2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

UroLift® System

  • Implants are placed to lift and hold the prostate away from the urethra

  • Preserves sexual function

  • Quick recovery with symptom relief in days

Rezum™ Water Vapor Therapy

  • Steam therapy that shrinks excess prostate tissue

  • Office-based procedure with minimal downtime

  • Ideal for men seeking a drug-free option

Transurethral Microwave Therapy (TUMT)

  • Delivers microwave energy to destroy prostate tissue

  • Outpatient procedure with a low risk of complications


3. Surgical Solutions for Severe BPH

TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)

  • Gold-standard procedure for long-standing or severe BPH

  • Involves trimming excess prostate tissue via the urethra

  • Performed under anesthesia with fast symptom relief

Laser Prostate Surgery (HoLEP or GreenLight)

  • Uses high-energy laser to vaporize or remove prostate tissue

  • Less bleeding and quicker recovery than TURP

  • Often recommended for men on blood thinners


BPH vs. Prostate Cancer: Know the Difference

While BPH and prostate cancer can cause similar symptoms, they are very different conditions. BPH is not cancer—and it does not increase your risk of cancer—but a proper evaluation is key to ruling out more serious concerns.
