Enlarged Prostate
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Enlargement of the prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a noncancerous increase in the size of the prostate that frequently occurs as men age.
Frequent symptoms: difficulty starting urination, a weak stream, a need to urinate frequently, especially at night, and a feeling of not fully emptying the bladder.
When to see a doctor? When these urinary complaints affect rest or daily routine, an assessment is advisable to pinpoint the cause.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the right professional to evaluate and follow up on this condition, with support from the endourologist when needed. Discussing changes in urination with one of these specialists helps guide the case appropriately.
