Introduction: The Fear Behind Urinary Symptoms When men develop urinary problems — frequent urination, weak stream, waking up multiple times at night — one thought often dominates their mind (and their family’s mind): 💭 “Could this be cancer?” In most cases, the answer is reassuring: these symptoms are usually due to BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.

Introduction: Why Cost Matters in Prostate Treatment If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with enlarged prostate (BPH), you’ve probably been advised surgery after medicines failed.

Introduction: A New Era in Prostate Treatment For decades, men suffering from enlarged prostate (BPH) who didn’t improve with medicines had only one option: surgery, usually TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate). While effective, TURP requires anesthesia, hospital stay, catheterisation, and carries risks like erectile dysfunction and incontinence.

Introduction: The First Step in Treating an Enlarged Prostate If you’ve been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH), your doctor may first prescribe medicines. For many men, medications can ease urinary symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, or weak stream. But medicines have their limits.

Introduction: Why Numbers Matter in Prostate Health If you’re experiencing urinary symptoms — frequent night urination, weak stream, urgency, or dribbling — your doctor may ask you to take a short questionnaire called the IPSS. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a simple but powerful tool.

Introduction: The Prostate and Its Silent Growth The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ located just below the bladder in men. It plays an important role in reproduction by producing seminal fluid. But as men age, the prostate tends to grow in size. This condition, known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or simply enlarged prostate, is not cancer. Yet, it can cause significant urinary problems, affecting daily life and sleep. If you’ve noticed frequent urination, weak stream, or the f

Introduction: When Sleep Gets Interrupted Too Often Imagine this: You’ve had a long day. You go to bed at 11 pm hoping for a solid 7–8 hours of sleep. But just as you enter deep sleep, you wake up at 1 am with an urge to urinate. Then again at 3 am. Then again at 5 am. By morning, you’re exhausted. This pattern, called nocturia (frequent night-time urination), is more than an inconvenience. For many men over 50, it’s often the first red flag of an enlarged prostate, also called Benign Prostati
