Depends: Depends on the degree of symptoms you are having. Sometimes lifestyle modifications are all that is required. Sometimes oral medication and in severe cases surgery. Talk to your urologist about the options patricio gargollo, md pediatric urology, dallas texas.

BPH: Benign prostatic hypertrophy may not cause any symptoms and no treatment may be needed. For symptoms of an enlarged prostate interfering with urinary outflow from the bladder, medications like flomax are helpful. Also hormonal treatment to shrink the prostate gland(ex:Proscar) are prescribed. Of course certain surgical treatments are used in severe cases to improve urine flow.
