Enlarged prostate care at Manipal Hospitals begins with a detailed consultation to review urinary symptoms, medical history, and overall health. Doctors discuss concerns and perform a physical examination, including a digital rectal examination to assess prostate size. Diagnostic tests such as urinalysis, urine flow measurement, an ultrasound to evaluate bladder emptying, and blood tests may be recommended. These assessments help confirm the condition and identify possible complications. Based on the findings, specialists explain the diagnosis and discuss suitable management options.
After evaluation, the care team prepares a personalised plan for benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment. Management may include lifestyle guidance, medications that relax prostate muscles or reduce gland size, or procedures if symptoms are severe. Doctors explain the benefits and possible risks of each option to support informed decisions. Follow-up visits allow doctors to monitor urinary symptoms, assess treatment response, and adjust management if needed. Patients also receive guidance on managing symptoms, maintaining urinary health, and recognising warning signs that may require further medical attention.
