UMC Victoria Hospital specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This common condition affects aging men and can lead to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak urine stream, or difficulty starting and stopping urination.
Comprehensive Evaluation
The hospital's urology team conducts thorough evaluations using advanced diagnostic tools to assess the severity of the condition and identify the best course of action. This includes imaging studies, urine tests, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests to rule out other conditions.
Treatment Options
UMC Victoria Hospital offers a range of treatment options tailored to individual needs:
Medications: Alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are prescribed to relax the muscles of the prostate and reduce its size, alleviating symptoms.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and laser therapy are available for patients seeking effective solutions with shorter recovery times.
Surgical Interventions: In severe cases, surgical procedures are performed to remove excess prostate tissue and restore normal urinary function.
Patient-Centered Care
The hospital prioritizes patient comfort and safety, providing personalized care plans and post-treatment support to ensure optimal recovery and improved quality of life.
UMC Victoria Hospital's urology department combines expertise, advanced technology, and compassionate care to deliver effective solutions for managing an enlarged prostate.
