BPH(Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
Description
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause urinary symptoms such as frequent nighttime urination, weak stream, urgency, or difficulty starting and stopping. In leading South Korean urology clinics, your BPH care typically begins with a thorough assessment to confirm the cause of symptoms and rule out other conditions. This may include a medical history review, symptom scoring, urine testing, PSA testing when appropriate, ultrasound to measure prostate size and bladder health, uroflowmetry (to measure urine flow), and sometimes cystoscopy or urodynamic testing. Based on your results and lifestyle needs, specialists will recommend a personalized plan that may start with medications (such as alpha-blockers or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors) or proceed directly to minimally invasive options if symptoms are moderate to severe or if complications like urinary retention are present. When a procedure is recommended, Korean clinics offer a range of modern BPH treatments designed to improve urinary flow while prioritizing safety and recovery. Options may include transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), laser procedures such as HoLEP (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate), and selected minimally invasive therapies like UroLift or water vapor therapy (Rezūm), depending on prostate size, anatomy, and patient goals. Most treatments are performed through the urethra without external incisions and are supported by precise endoscopic and imaging systems. Your care team will guide you through anesthesia planning, same-day or short-stay hospitalization when needed, catheter management, and clear post-procedure instructions, with coordinated follow-up and international patient support to help you travel confidently and recover comfortably.
