Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous growth of the prostate, common as men get older, that can compress the urethra and hinder the passage of urine.
Common symptoms: It usually presents with urinary changes such as a weak stream, the need to urinate more frequently, urgency, or a sensation of incomplete emptying.
When to see a doctor? It is worth seeking care when these symptoms affect sleep or daily life, or if marked difficulty urinating or blood in the urine appears.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who evaluates and follows up on BPH; the general practitioner can guide the first visit, and the nephrologist or the general surgeon intervene in specific situations. A timely evaluation helps understand the origin of the symptoms.
