What Is BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?

BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly affects men as they age. As the prostate enlarges, it can press against the urethra, restricting urine flow and leading to uncomfortable urinary symptoms.

Common BPH Symptoms Include:
  • Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
  • A weak or intermittent urinary stream
  • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  • Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
  • Straining or discomfort during urination
Over 50% of men in their 60s and up to 90% in their 70s experience BPH symptoms — but effective treatment is available.

When is Surgery Needed for Renal Cysts?

Step 1

Robotic Cyst Decortication

This procedure is typically recommended for benign but symptomatic cysts, such as:
  • Bosniak I or II cysts causing persistent pain or pressure
  • Cysts causing recurrent infections or bleeding
  • Growing cysts that are affecting nearby structures

Step 2

Robotic Partial Nephrectomy

A partial nephrectomy may be necessary for:
  • Bosniak III or IV cysts that are suspicious for malignancy
  • Cysts with solid components or irregular features on imaging
  • Complex or growing cysts that cannot be safely treated with decortication alone
Your UPNT surgeon will carefully evaluate your imaging studies and determine the best approach for you

How We Evaluate Prostate Size and Anatomy Before Recommending Treatment

One of the most important factors in choosing the right BPH treatment is understanding your prostate size and anatomy. At UPNT, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — we believe in precision care based on your unique condition.

2

Your BPH Evaluation May Include:

  • Prostate Ultrasound – Measures the exact size and volume of the prostate
  • Bladder Scan – Determines how well you empty your bladder
  • Cystoscopy – Provides a visual look inside the urethra and bladder
  • Uroflowmetry and Urodynamics – Measure the strength and efficiency of your urine stream
These tests help us determine:
  • Whether your prostate is small, medium, or very large
  • If you’re a good candidate for minimally invasive options like UroLift® or Rezūm™
  • If you may benefit more from Aquablation, PAE, HoLEP, or Robotic Surgery
Your anatomy helps determine your ideal treatment — and at UPNT, we make that decision with you, using the most accurate tools available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a Bosniak cyst?
A Bosniak cyst is a kidney cyst classified based on complexity and cancer risk. Bosniak III and IV cysts are concerning and often require surgical intervention.
  • Cyst Decortication: Removes only the cyst wall for benign or symptomatic cysts (Bosniak I or II).
  • Partial Nephrectomy: Removes the cyst and surrounding kidney tissue if malignancy is suspected (Bosniak III or IV).
Most patients recover within 2–3 weeks, with minimal restrictions after that period.
