Then it begins to grow again and continues to do so for the rest of his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Normally, your prostate is approximately the size of a walnut and sits in the center of a dense network of nerves, blood vessels, and other tissue. As it grows, it can press against the urethra, causing a range of urinary problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urinary symptoms can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty urinating<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A feeling that your bladder hasn\u2019t completely voided<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sudden need to urinate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urinary incontinence<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When non-invasive options such as daily <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/cialis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cialis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/hair-loss-offer\/?gclid=CjwKCAjwzt6LBhBeEiwAbPGOgffShOfNzTFyNMJijvtfEnFpKuANGY-2OvZcgTbVdpLNTfF3Gqp1DBoC410QAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">finasteride<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> don\u2019t offer enough relief, the discussion may turn to surgery.

In these situations, patients may opt for TURP or another BPH procedure, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/mens-health\/bph-holep-procedure-might-help\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoLEP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

If you\u2019re considering intervention beyond medication, either is likely to be effective. However, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32962442\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">early results are showing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more short-term relief from UroLift and similar procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond that, consider your overall health. If you\u2019re otherwise healthy, TURP is an option, but if you have any concerns about surgery or recovery, UroLift may be a better choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discuss your symptoms and your options with your doctor. They may recommend prostate imaging to determine its size and growth rate. As smaller prostates and earlier cases benefit most from UroLift, it may not be an option for men with a larger prostate or advanced BPH.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you and your provider determine that both procedures are options for you, ask yourself what will best fit into your life. Weigh the risks and benefits of each along with long-term outcomes to make your best decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>BPH is Manageable Without Surgery<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, remember that there are noninvasive options for BPH.
