BPH occurs when the prostate gland enlarges, potentially causing a range of urinary symptoms, including frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying. These symptoms can significantly impact a man’s daily life and overall well-being.

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment

Dr. Gonzalez uses a thorough and personalized approach to evaluate benign prostate conditions and related urinary health issues. The diagnostic process may include:

  • Detailed Medical History: To understand symptoms, medical background, and lifestyle factors.
  • Physical Examination: Including a digital rectal exam (DRE) to assess the size and condition of the prostate gland.
  • Laboratory Tests: Such as urine tests and blood tests to check for infections, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and other markers.
  • Imaging Studies: Ultrasound or other imaging techniques to evaluate the size of the prostate and the condition of the urinary tract.

Based on the diagnosis, Dr. Gonzalez develops a tailored treatment plan, which may include:

  • Medication Therapy: To manage symptoms and reduce prostate size, including alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: Such as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) or laser therapy to improve urinary flow and alleviate symptoms.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Recommendations for diet, exercise, and fluid management to support urinary health.
