Enlarged prostate (BPH)
Should I keep taking prostate pills for life or have a procedure?
Should you take prostate pills for life, or have a procedure?
The short answer
Medicines work well for many men. But some men still get up at night, have a weak stream, or deal with side effects like dizziness or ejaculation changes.
More detail
Over years, a blocked bladder can also weaken. Today, several procedures can open the prostate channel, many done as an outpatient, and some designed to protect ejaculation. The right time to switch is when pills aren't doing enough, or you'd rather not take them forever. Book a visit if you still get up at night, strain or have a weak stream on medicine, or if dizziness or ejaculation changes bother you; we measure the prostate and go over UroLift, Aquablation, TURP and other procedures.
