BPH & OAB: Common, Frustrating, But Treatable.

If you’re constantly running to the bathroom, struggling to fully empty your bladder, or waking up multiple times a night, you’re not alone.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH, or enlarged prostate) and Overactive Bladder (OAB) are among the most common urinary issues in men. The good news? Both are highly treatable.

Symptoms That Can Disrupt Your Life

Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate (BPH):

❌ Weak or slow urine stream – Takes forever to empty your bladder
❌ Frequent urination – Constantly running to the restroom
❌ Waking up at night to pee (Nocturia) – Interrupted sleep = low energy
❌ Straining to urinate – Hard to start or completely empty your bladder
❌ Dribbling after urination – Feeling like you always need to go again

Symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB):

🚽 Sudden, strong urges to urinate – Even when your bladder isn’t full
🚽 Frequent urination – Going more than 8+ times a day
🚽 Urge incontinence – Can’t always hold it in time

If these symptoms are impacting your quality of life, we have solutions!

Step 1: Safe & Effective Medications

Most men start with medication, which can effectively reduce symptoms and improve urinary flow. These include:

💊 Alpha-blockers – Relax the prostate & bladder muscles (Flomax, Uroxatral)
💊 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors – Shrink the prostate over time (Proscar, Avodart)
💊 Bladder Relaxants – Help control overactive bladder symptoms (e.g. Detrol, Ditropan, Myrbetriq, Gemtesa)

Not satisfied with medication alone? There are minimally invasive procedures that can provide long-term relief!
