Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological condition that occurs when the prostate gland enlarges with age, pressing on the urethra and making urine flow difficult. It is common especially in middle-aged and older men and can negatively affect daily quality of life over time.
Although not related to cancer, BPH can cause complaints such as frequent urination, waking at night to urinate, difficulty urinating and incomplete bladder emptying. Treatment is planned according to the severity of the patient's complaints and the size of the prostate.
Diagnosing BPH involves evaluating the patient's complaints, clinical examination findings, urine tests and imaging together. When necessary, uroflowmetry and endoscopic examinations are used to analyze urine flow and the prostate's effect on the urethra.
This evaluation guides which treatment method will be used.
Endoscopic surgery for BPH is performed by entering through the urethra, without any incision on the body. Using specialized endoscopic instruments, the part of the prostate tissue narrowing the urethra is removed in a controlled way.
Endoscopic surgery offers advantages such as restoring effective urine flow, rapidly reducing complaints and a short recovery time. The aim is to achieve safe and successful results in suitable patients.
After surgery, patients are followed up regularly. Urinary function, general health and the recovery process are assessed. Lifestyle recommendations and supportive approaches may be planned if needed.
The main goal of treatment is to relieve urinary complaints, preserve bladder function and improve the patient's quality of life.
