What Is an Enlarged Prostate?
An enlarged prostate is a common condition in men where the prostate gland becomes bigger than its normal size. The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and around the urine tube. When it grows larger, it can press on the urine passage and disturb normal urination. This condition is also called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and is usually non-cancerous.
Men with an enlarged prostate may notice symptoms like frequent urination, weak urine flow, difficulty starting urine, incomplete bladder emptying, urgent urination, or waking up many times at night to pass urine. If these symptoms affect daily life, it is important to consult a urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance.

How Is an Enlarged Prostate Diagnosed?
An enlarged prostate is diagnosed by checking urinary symptoms, physical examination, and tests like urine test, PSA, ultrasound, uroflowmetry, or cystoscopy if needed. Dr. Sunil Mhaske evaluates urine flow, prostate size, night urination, weak stream, and bladder emptying to plan the right treatment.
Common tests used to diagnose an enlarged prostate include:
- Medical History
The doctor asks about urinary problems, age, lifestyle, medicines, and past health conditions. - Digital Rectal Examination
The doctor checks the prostate size, shape, and texture through a simple physical examination. - Urine Test
This helps detect urinary infection, blood in urine, or other bladder-related problems. - PSA Blood Test
This test helps assess prostate health and may be suggested to rule out other prostate conditions. - Ultrasound
Ultrasound helps measure prostate size and checks how much urine remains in the bladder after urination. - Uroflowmetry Test
This test measures the speed and strength of urine flow to check if the prostate is blocking the urine passage. - Cystoscopy
In selected cases, a thin camera is used to examine the urine passage and bladder more clearly.

You should consult a urologist if urinary symptoms disturb your daily life, sleep, work, or comfort. Dr. Sunil Mhaske may suggest tests to understand the prostate size, urine flow, and bladder condition before planning treatment.
No, prostate enlargement is usually non-cancerous. However, some urinary symptoms can look similar to other prostate problems, so proper diagnosis by a urologist is important.
Common symptoms include frequent urination, waking up at night to pass urine, weak urine stream, urgency, difficulty starting urination, dribbling, and feeling that the bladder is not fully empty.
Yes, many cases can be managed with lifestyle changes and medicines. Treatment depends on symptom severity, prostate size, age, health condition, and test results.
Reducing evening fluid intake, limiting tea, coffee, and alcohol, avoiding holding urine for long, maintaining a healthy weight, and regular follow-up can help control symptoms.
A urologist may advise urine tests, blood tests, PSA test, ultrasound, uroflowmetry, post-void residual urine test, and physical examination to assess the prostate and urinary system.
A PSA test may be recommended to evaluate prostate health. It helps the doctor understand whether further assessment is needed, especially in older men or patients with concerning symptoms.
Surgery may be advised if medicines do not help, symptoms are severe, urine blockage occurs, bladder stones develop, kidney function is affected, or repeated urinary infections happen.
Advanced options may include minimally invasive procedures, laser prostate surgery, TURP, and other endoscopic treatments. The best option depends on prostate size, symptoms, and overall health.
Laser treatment uses laser energy to remove or vaporize extra prostate tissue blocking urine flow. It is commonly preferred because it may offer less bleeding, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery in suitable patients.
Most procedures are performed under anesthesia, so patients usually do not feel pain during the treatment. Some mild discomfort, burning urination, or temporary urgency may occur during recovery.
