What is BPH or Enlarged Prostate?
BPH refers to benign prostatic hypertrophy, a medical term that means enlarged prostate. The prostate is an organ that is present only in men. The prostate sits in the pelvis. The prostate surrounds the urethra and can affect urination if it grows by blocking urine flow. The prostate is also involved in producing semen (fluid in which sperm swim).
Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger has extensive experience having treated hundreds of men for symptoms of enlarged prostate and has personally performed hundreds of procedures and surgeries for treatment of enlarged prostate including Urolift, Rezum, Laser enucleation of the prostate, Greenlight Laser, Holmium laser HOLEP, and other minimally invasive procedures as well as open and robotic surgery. He specializes in the second opinion for men who had treatment for enlarged prostate but have not experienced expected results or developed treatment complications.
What Are the Causes of Enlarged Prostate and BPH?
Over time, under the hormonal influence (from testosterone), the prostate increases in size. The prostate gland has a volume of 15-20 ml in young men (20-30 years old). By the time men reach age 50, it is not uncommon for the prostate gland to grow to 40-60 grams. Some men appear to have a genetic predisposition to enlarged prostate and can develop symptoms earlier in life in their mid-to-late 30’s and 40’s.
Almost all men develop an enlarged prostate as they get older. Some men have minimal to no symptoms of prostate enlargement; other men develop symptoms as early as age 30-35.
Who Gets BPH or Enlarged Prostate?
Enlarged prostate usually occurs in men who are over 40-45 years old. It is fairly uncommon for men younger than 40 to experience symptoms of an enlarged prostate. The symptoms are most common after age 50; as men age, they are more likely to develop symptoms of enlarged prostate over time.
Many Men ask us “What do I need to worry about”?
As men approach age 40, the prostate starts to grow. This is a normal process and occurs in virtually every man.
As men approach age 50, they start to experience the symptoms of enlarged prostate or BPH. The symptoms of BPH or prostate enlargement are typically related to urination.

by Charles Thompson on Jul 06, 2019
I am a 54 year-old male who is extremely happy with my care at New York Urology Specialists. I came to see Dr. Alex out of near desperation after consulting with three other urologists. Literally over one night, I began experiencing severe penile pain and burning. None of the other urologists were able to help diagnose what my problem was and seemingly didn't take my problem very seriously. In fact, one of them specifically told me at it had nothing to do with my prostate. After 6 weeks of suffering, I saw Dr. Alex. He examined me and gave me some tests and lab work. He very quickly ascertained that my problem was due to an enlarged prostate. He proscribed medicine to deal with my pain in the short-term and keep my prostate size in check over the long-term. My problem quickly disappeared. Today, 5 years later, I feel great. Dr, Alex listens to you as a patient, takes your opinion and health concerns seriously and knows his field inside-and-out so that you can get proper treatment for your problem. I can't thank him enough for diagnosing and solving my malady - you sometimes can't appreciate a problem until you have it. Getting rid of it and getting back to normal is so important - I am so glad that I saw Dr. Alex for my problem.
