What is BPH or Enlarged Prostate?<\/h2>\n

\"Top-ratedBPH refers to b<\/strong>enign p<\/strong>rostatic h<\/strong>ypertrophy, a medical term that means enlarged prostate.  The prostate is an organ that is present only in men.<\/strong> The prostate sits in the pelvis. The prostate surrounds the urethra and can affect urination if it grows by blocking urine flow.<\/strong>  The prostate is also involved in producing semen (fluid in which sperm swim). <\/p>\n

Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger<\/a><\/strong> has extensive experience, having treated hundreds of men for symptoms of enlarged prostate<\/a><\/strong> and has personally performed hundreds of procedures and surgeries for treatment of <\/strong><\/a>enlarged prostate, <\/b><\/span>including Urolift<\/a><\/strong>, Rezum<\/a><\/strong>, Laser enucleation of the prostate, Greenlight Laser<\/a>, Holmium laser HOLEP,  and other minimally invasive procedures as well as open and robotic surgery.  He specializes in second opinions for men who have had treatment for enlarged prostate but have not experienced the expected results or developed treatment complications.<\/p>\n

What Are the Causes of Enlarged Prostate and BPH?<\/h2>\n

Over time, under the hormonal influence (from testosterone), the prostate increases in size<\/strong>. The prostate gland has a volume of 15-20 ml in young men (20-30 years old).  By the time men reach age 50<\/strong>, it is not uncommon for the prostate gland to grow to 40-60 grams<\/strong>. Some men appear to have a genetic predisposition to an enlarged prostate<\/strong> and can develop symptoms earlier in life in their mid-to-late 30’s and 40’s<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Almost all men develop an enlarged prostate as they get older.<\/strong> Some men have minimal to no symptoms of prostate enlargement; other men develop symptoms as early as age 30-35.<\/p>\n

Who Gets BPH or Enlarged Prostate?<\/h2>\n

Enlarged prostate<\/strong> usually occurs in men who are over 40-45 years old<\/strong>. It is fairly uncommon for men younger than 40 to experience symptoms of an enlarged prostate. The symptoms are most common after age 50<\/strong>; as men age, they are more likely to develop symptoms of an enlarged prostate over time.<\/p>\n

Many Men ask us, “What do I need to worry about”?<\/h2>\n

As men approach age 40, the prostate starts to grow.<\/strong>  This is a normal process and occurs in virtually every man.<\/p>\n

As men approach age 50, they start to experience the symptoms of enlarged prostate or BPH.   The symptoms of BPH or prostate enlargement <\/a>are typically related to urination.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n
