Is there a permanent cure for bph?

Yes: Removing the entire prostate would be a permanent cure. It is only done for prostate cancer though because of the risk of leakage after the surgery and the risk on erectile dysfunction.

"Simple" Prostatect.: To stop BPH permanently, the entire prostate does not actually need to be removed. Removeal of just the inner portion of the prostate, known as the adenoma, is a permanent cure. This operation, known as "suprapubic" or "simple" "prostatectomy, " which is quite different than "radical prostatectomy, " unlike the cancer operation, this does not have a high risk of ed or incontinence.
