What Causes BPH?

BPH doesn’t have a clear cause, but the condition does become more common with age. In fact, about 90 percent of men age 81 years old and up have this condition. While research hasn’t uncovered a surefire way to prevent BPH, you can do some things to manage the condition, such as:

• Performing Kegels
• Limiting your caffeine consumption
• Avoiding drinks before bed

If you still have bothersome symptoms, see one of our urologists for professional BPH treatment.

How Is BPH Treated?

For many patients, medication is all they need to manage their symptoms. If medication doesn’t provide the results you want, we may recommend one of the following procedures to lift or remove the enlarged prostate tissue so that it doesn’t obstruct the urethra:

• UroLift
• Laser therapy
• TURP
