Symptoms include frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow, and the sensation of not being able to completely empty the bladder.
TURP is an effective treatment option for men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate. It involves removing a portion of the prostate gland that is blocking the flow of urine through the urethra.
This can improve urine flow and reduce symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying, as well as reducing the number of times you need to get up overnight to pass urine.
UroLift
This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing small implants in the prostate to lift and hold the enlarged tissue out of the way, which opens up the urethra and improves urinary flow. The procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting and typically has a short recovery time.

Rezum Steam Therapy
This is a newer procedure that uses the natural energy of steam to shrink excess prostate tissue. It involves injecting sterile water vapor into the prostate, which causes the cells to die off and the tissue to shrink. Rezum is also minimally invasive and can be performed in an outpatient setting.

GreenLight Laser Therapy
This is another minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to remove excess prostate tissue. The laser is delivered through a small fiber that is inserted into the urethra, which vaporises the tissue and opens up the urethra. GreenLight Laser therapy is often performed on an outpatient basis and typically has a short recovery time.
