what’s the treatment for "benign Prostate Enlargement" and will it be expensive?

Monday, August 17th, 2009


Surgical procedures for Benign Prostate Hypertrophy, or "BPH", range from open prostatectomy to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) to transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP). Balloon dilatation is also being used by some urologists, although it is still officially classified as experimental. Medications for BPH include a1-blockers like terazosin (Hytrin®) and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride (Proscar®). Newer treatment methods currently under investigation run the gamut from laser prostatectomy to microwave thermal therapy to urethral stents. The objective of scientists developing these new techniques is to find ways to treat BPH that are less involved and, therefore, safer than surgery.

Treatment for BPH is covered by almost all insurance plans.

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.

The “Prostate Cancer Treatment” report includes a review of possible signs and symptoms (such as weak flow of urine or painful ejactulation); descriptions of the various tests used for diagnosis (including digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen test); an explanation of the various stages of prostate cancer (Stages I, II, III, and IV); an overview of treatment options (including watchful waiting, surgery, and radation therapy); and also includes 10 pages of related medical terminology (to help you understand what your medical provider is talking about.
