Enlarged Prostate Treatment at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East
An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly develops with age. CritiCare Asia Hospitals, a urology hospital in Mumbai, evaluates and manages BPH through clearly scheduled steps. Because the prostate surrounds the urethra, its growth can obstruct urine flow. Broken sleep from night-time urination and sudden urgency during meetings are often what finally bring men in. For enlarged prostate treatment in Andheri East, Mumbai, our team combines clinical assessment with targeted tests, planned to avoid repeated visits.
Symptoms of an Enlarged Prostate
Typical enlarged prostate symptoms include:
- A weak or stop-start urine stream
- Difficulty urinating despite a clear urge
- Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
- A feeling that the bladder has not fully emptied
- Dribbling at the end of urination
- Sudden, urgent need to urinate
- In advanced cases, retention or blood in the urine
Risks of Delaying Care
Hormonal changes with ageing, particularly in testosterone and oestrogen levels, are believed to contribute to prostate growth. Untreated BPH can strain the bladder muscle, send pressure back to the kidneys, and lead to recurrent urinary infections and bladder stones, particularly when prostate enlargement treatment is delayed. Poor sleep and frequent bathroom breaks also affect concentration through the working day. Our enlarged prostate specialist in Andheri East advises early assessment.
How BPH Is Diagnosed
Where possible, the consultation, tests, and ultrasound are completed in a single visit.
- Digital rectal examination to assess prostate size and texture
- Urine flow rate studies
- Ultrasound of the prostate and bladder
- Blood tests, including PSA (prostate-specific antigen), to rule out other prostate conditions
- Post-void residual urine measurement to check how fully the bladder empties
Treatment Options for Prostate Enlargement
The intensity of treatment follows how much symptoms disrupt daily life, not just prostate size.
- Lifestyle adjustments for mild cases
fewer fluids before bed, less caffeine and alcohol, and a review of medicines that may worsen symptoms - Alpha-blockers for moderate symptoms
they relax muscles around the prostate and bladder neck - 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors
they gradually shrink prostate tissue, used alone or with alpha-blockers - Minimally invasive procedures using heat or laser energy for more pronounced symptoms
- Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
a long-established surgical option when other treatments have not worked well enough
The choice depends on prostate size, general health and the degree of obstruction. Symptoms fluctuate, with flare-ups tied to cold weather, some over-the-counter medicines or long periods of inactivity, so new or worsening symptoms should be reported promptly. Our BPH specialists in Andheri East adjust treatment as the picture changes.
