Benign Prostate Hypertrophy (or BPH)
Benign prostate hypertrophy (enlargement) is a frequent occurrence in men. Whilst the exact cause of the enlargement is not clearly understood, men present with difficulty in urination. After we have done investigations to exclude a cancer diagnosis, we work with you on the best treatment.
TURP/BNI
Depending on your clinical situation, we may offer a ‘re-bore’ of your prostate. This is the most common procedure for benign enlargement of prostate.
Laser prostatectomy
In certain cases, we would recommend a laser prostatectomy or HOLEP. We are the only team to offer this in Hamilton.
Urolift®
This is a technique, where we are able to preserve sexual function whilst helping you urinate. Whilst the long term data is absent, this can be an intermediate step.
