Enlarged Prostate

Description

An enlarged prostate—also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), benign prostatic hypertrophy, or simply "enlarged prostate gland"—is a common, non-cancerous condition where the prostate grows larger with age. This growth can press against the urethra and bladder, leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as frequent urination (especially at night), urgent urges to urinate, weak urine stream, trouble starting urination, or feeling like the bladder isn't fully empty. Though symptoms can be bothersome and affect daily life, an enlarged prostate is not the same as prostate cancer and can often be managed with medication or minimally invasive treatments. If you are experiencing urinary symptoms tied to an enlarged prostate, advanced and patient-friendly options for diagnosis and treatment—including innovative procedures like UroLift—are available in South Korea, helping many men regain comfort and quality of life.
