What is
BPH?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, which surrounds the urethra. As the prostate enlarges with age, it gradually squeezes the urethra, making urination progressively harder.
About 50% of men have BPH by age 60, and 90% by age 85. It is one of the most common conditions of ageing men.
BPH is not prostate cancer — the two are different conditions. BPH can coexist with prostate cancer, which is why an elevated PSA in a man with BPH still needs proper evaluation.
BPH symptoms
by category.
Storage symptoms (irritative):
- Frequent urination during the day
- Waking multiple times at night to urinate (nocturia)
- Sudden urge to urinate (urgency)
- Leaking before reaching the toilet (urge incontinence)
Voiding symptoms (obstructive):
- Weak urinary stream
- Hesitancy starting to urinate
- Straining to urinate
- Intermittent stream (stop-start)
- Feeling of incomplete emptying
- Terminal dribbling
Complications of untreated BPH:
- Acute urinary retention (sudden inability to urinate)
- Recurrent UTI
- Bladder stones
- Bladder wall thickening
- Kidney damage (advanced cases)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MedicalAlpha-blockers + 5-ARIs | Mild to moderate symptoms | None | None | Ongoing | ₹ |
| TURPTransurethral resection | Moderate prostates (30–80g) | General/spinal | 2–3 days | 2–3 weeks | ₹₹₹ |
| HoLEPHolmium laser enucleation | Any size, especially large prostates > 80g | General/spinal | 1–2 days | 2 weeks | ₹₹₹₹ |
| Laser vaporisationPVP / Greenlight | Smaller prostates, anticoagulated patients | General/spinal | 1 day | 1–2 weeks | ₹₹₹ |
Medical management — Alpha-blockers (tamsulosin) relax prostate muscle. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) shrink the prostate over months. Combination therapy works for many men with moderate symptoms.
TURP — The traditional gold standard. The prostate tissue blocking the urethra is removed in chips using a resectoscope. Effective, long-lasting. Slightly higher bleeding risk than laser options.
HoLEP — Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate — The modern gold standard. The entire enlarged inner prostate is enucleated (peeled away) using laser. Works for any prostate size including very large prostates. Lower bleeding, faster catheter removal.
Laser vaporisation — Tissue is vaporised rather than removed. Lower bleeding, suitable for patients on blood thinners. Best for moderate-sized prostates.

Six men's health conditions.
BPH (enlargement)
BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) is a common condition in aging men that causes enlargement of the prostate gland. While not cancerous, Learn more →
Prostatitis
Prostatitis is an inflammation or infection of the prostate gland that can cause pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, and discomfort during daily activities. Learn more →
Urinary retention
Urinary retention is a condition in which the bladder cannot empty completely or at all. It may develop suddenly or gradually and can be caused by prostate enlargement. Learn more →
Prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, particularly with advancing age. Many cases are detected early through PSA testing and imaging, Learn more →
Elevated PSA
An elevated PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) level does not automatically mean prostate cancer. PSA levels can rise due to benign prostate enlargement (BPH), prostatitis, Learn more →
Post-TURP follow-up
Follow-up care after TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is essential to ensure proper healing and long-term urinary function.Learn more →
Modern technique
matters more
than ever.
HoLEP capability
Not all urologists offer HoLEP. It is technically demanding and requires specialised training and equipment — both of which we have.
Function preservation
Modern technique can preserve antegrade ejaculation in most patients. We discuss this clearly before surgery.
Same-week surgery
Most prostate surgeries scheduled within a week of consultation. No long waits in pain.
Holmium & Thulium Fiber
Both laser systems available for prostate work — best technology, every case.

Prostate treatment —
your questions.
Erection is usually preserved. Antegrade ejaculation (forward ejaculation) is affected in 60–80% of TURP cases — semen flows backwards into the bladder (retrograde ejaculation). This is harmless but changes sensation. Modern techniques can preserve this in many patients. We discuss frankly before surgery.
No. A temporary catheter is in place for 1–2 days after surgery. After removal, normal urination is restored — typically much better than before surgery.
TURP / HoLEP take 60–120 minutes depending on prostate size. Both are done under general or spinal anaesthesia.
Very rarely. The enucleated or resected tissue does not return. Long-term cure rate is 90%+ at 10 years.
HoLEP has lower bleeding, faster catheter removal, shorter hospital stay, and handles any prostate size including very large ones. TURP is simpler and equally effective for moderate-sized prostates. Both have excellent long-term outcomes.
Yes — all major Indian health insurers cover TURP and HoLEP, with cashless TPA partners. We handle pre-authorisation.
Most desk workers return in 2 weeks. Heavy physical work, gym, and lifting at 4–6 weeks. Cycling and prolonged sitting may need additional time.
Most patients can stop alpha-blockers and 5-ARIs after successful surgery. Some may continue short-term during recovery.
