What Is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, commonly known as an enlarged prostate or BPH, is a non-cancerous condition in which the prostate gland gradually increases in size with age. Because the prostate surrounds the urethra — the tube through which urine passes from the bladder — this enlargement compresses the urethra and obstructs the normal flow of urine. BPH affects a significant proportion of men over 50 and becomes increasingly common with advancing age.

The condition is entirely treatable, and with the right specialist providing the best prostate treatment in Andheri, most men achieve complete symptom relief and return to normal daily functioning within weeks of intervention.

Common Symptoms of an Enlarged Prostate

Recognising the warning signs early allows for prompt treatment before the condition worsens. Symptoms to watch for include:

Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
Weak, slow, or intermittent urine stream
Difficulty starting urination (hesitancy)
Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
Dribbling or leaking after urination
Sudden, urgent need to urinate
Urinary retention (inability to urinate)
Blood in urine (haematuria)

⚠️ Important: BPH and prostate cancer can produce similar urinary symptoms. It is essential to consult a qualified urologist for a proper clinical evaluation — including a PSA test and ultrasound — rather than self-diagnosing or delaying care.

Prostate Treatment Options: A Complete Overview

Dr. Abhijit Shah offers a full range of prostate treatment options, from medication management for mild cases to advanced surgical interventions for moderate and severe disease. The choice of treatment depends on the size of the prostate, severity of symptoms, patient's age, general health, and personal preference.

Medical Management

For patients with mild to moderate BPH symptoms, medication remains a first-line approach. Alpha-blockers relax the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck to ease urine flow, while 5-alpha reductase inhibitors reduce prostate size over time by lowering hormone-driven growth. In some cases, a combination of both medication classes is prescribed for better symptom control. Dr. Shah evaluates each patient thoroughly before recommending the most appropriate medical regimen.

Surgical Prostate Treatments Available

Procedure TURP Laser Prostatectomy (HoLEP)
Full Name Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate
Approach Electrosurgical loop via urethra Laser energy via urethra
Blood Loss Minimal Very minimal ✓ Preferred

Recovery Time 4–6 weeks 2–4 weeks ✓ Faster

Gold Standard? Yes — classical standard Emerging gold standard ✓ Advanced

Both procedures are performed endoscopically — meaning no external cuts or incisions on the abdomen. Dr. Shah will recommend the most suitable technique after a detailed pre-operative assessment that includes uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, prostate ultrasound, and PSA evaluation.

Prostate Cancer: Early Detection and Expert Surgical Care

Beyond BPH, Dr. Abhijit Shah's expertise as a Uro-Oncologist makes him the preferred choice for anyone seeking the best prostate treatment in Andheri for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men globally, and when caught early, it is highly treatable with excellent long-term survival rates.

Dr. Shah offers a complete prostate cancer care pathway — from PSA screening and multiparametric MRI evaluation, to ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy for diagnosis, through to radical prostatectomy (surgical removal of the prostate) for localised disease. He has completed an international fellowship in Robotic Uro-Oncosurgery at Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York — one of the world's premier centres for robotic cancer surgery — enabling him to bring advanced global techniques to patients in Mumbai.

For patients with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, Dr. Shah coordinates closely with radiation oncology and medical oncology teams to develop a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary treatment strategy personalised to each patient's disease stage and overall health status.

When Should You See a Prostate Specialist?

Many men delay seeking medical attention for urinary symptoms, assuming they are simply a normal part of ageing. While some degree of urinary change is common, significant symptoms should never be ignored. You should consult a urologist promptly if you experience urinary symptoms that are affecting sleep or quality of life, notice blood in your urine, have a family history of prostate cancer, are over 50 and have not had a PSA screening test, or are unable to urinate (urinary retention — this requires emergency care).

Early evaluation allows for accurate diagnosis, simpler treatment options, and significantly better long-term outcomes — particularly in the case of prostate cancer. Choosing the best prostate treatment in Andheri means choosing a doctor who takes the time to investigate thoroughly and treat appropriately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Prostate Treatment — Your Questions Answered

Common questions patients ask before their prostate consultation with Dr. Abhijit Shah.

  • Dr. Abhijit Shah at Ashwini Polyclinic, Andheri (West) offers the best prostate treatment in Andheri. He is an MCh-qualified Urologist and Uro-Oncologist specialising in TURP, laser prostatectomy (HoLEP), and advanced prostate cancer surgery. His clinic is located at Shop No. 23, Kabra Metro One, Near Versova Metro Station, Seven Bungalow, Andheri West, Mumbai – 400 053.
  • TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) uses an electrosurgical loop to remove excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow and is the gold-standard surgical treatment for BPH. Laser prostatectomy (HoLEP) uses focused laser energy to enucleate the obstructing tissue with less bleeding and faster recovery — particularly ideal for patients on blood thinners or those with larger prostates. Dr. Abhijit Shah offers both procedures and recommends the most appropriate option based on individual clinical assessment.
  • Common symptoms of BPH include frequent urination especially at night (nocturia), weak or interrupted urine stream, difficulty starting urination, a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying, dribbling after urination, and in severe cases, complete inability to urinate (urinary retention). If you experience any of these symptoms, consult Dr. Abhijit Shah for a thorough evaluation and personalised treatment plan.
  • Modern minimally invasive prostate surgeries such as TURP and laser prostatectomy are very safe when performed by an experienced urologist. Common temporary effects include mild burning during urination and light blood-tinged urine for a few days after surgery. Serious complications are rare when performed by a skilled specialist. Dr. Abhijit Shah's extensive training ensures thorough pre-operative evaluation and careful technique to minimise any risks.
  • BPH itself does not turn into prostate cancer — they are two separate conditions. However, prostate cancer can develop in the same gland and may initially produce similar urinary symptoms. Regular PSA screening and digital rectal examination is important for men over 50, or earlier if there is a family history of prostate cancer. Dr. Abhijit Shah offers both BPH treatment and specialised prostate cancer surgery.
  • For TURP, most patients are discharged within 2–3 days and resume normal activities within 4–6 weeks. Laser prostatectomy (HoLEP) typically allows discharge within 24–48 hours with a faster return to daily routines. Dr. Abhijit Shah provides detailed post-operative guidance and regular follow-up care to ensure a smooth and complete recovery.
