&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Overview On Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in Malaysia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;As men age, they are more likely to develop the urological condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When the prostate gland, which supplies semen during ejaculation, enlarges and squeezes the urethra, it causes the condition. It may result in symptoms like frequent urination, a weak urine stream, and trouble starting to urinate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;A digital rectal exam, a urine flow study, and a cystoscopy are all common ways to determine if someone has BPH. Therapy options include drugs such as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/cialis-tadalafil-malaysia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cialis (Tadalafil)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which reduce the prostate by blocking the hormone that makes it expand, and alpha-blockers, which relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors can also be used to &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/erectile-dysfunction&quot;&gt;treat erectile dysfunction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and BPH-related urine symptoms. Yet, these drugs could have inevitable, unwanted consequences.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I know if I have Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia&quot;&gt;Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous prostate gland enlargement&lt;/a&gt; that occurs in men as they age. The exact cause of BPH is unknown, but it is believed to be related to hormonal changes that occur as men age.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;As the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/enlarged-prostate&quot;&gt;prostate gland grows&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, it can squeeze the urethra and cause urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. BPH can also lead to complications such as recurring urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and kidney damage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect when you see a doctor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;BPH can be diagnosed through a physical examination, medical history review, and various tests such as a digital rectal exam, urine flow study, and cystoscopy. Treatment options for BPH include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watchful waiting:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; For men with mild symptoms, a &quot;wait and see&quot; approach may be recommended, as BPH symptoms may improve on their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medications:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, and phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE5-Is), such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/cialis-tadalafil-singapore&quot;&gt;Cialis can be used to treat BPH symptoms&lt;/a&gt;. Alpha-blockers relax the prostate and bladder muscles, while 5-alpha reductase inhibitors shrink the prostate by blocking the hormone that causes it to enlarge. PDE5-Is help treat urinary symptoms related to BPH and can also improve erectile dysfunction. However, these medications may cause side effects such as low blood pressure, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/what-causes-low-sex-drive-in-men-low-in-libido&quot;&gt;low sex drive&lt;/a&gt;, and muscle soreness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minimally invasive procedures&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;involve inserting a device into the urethra or using heat or laser energy to remove or destroy prostate tissue. Examples include transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP), and laser therapy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Surgery:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In severe cases, surgery may be recommended to remove part or all the prostate gland. The most common type of surgery for BPH is called a prostatectomy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If a man is experiencing urinary symptoms, he should consult a doctor because BPH can be effectively treated with a variety of options.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
