Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Private Health Care

Prostate Issues Shouldn’t Govern Your Life.

As men get older, an enlarged prostate, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a very common issue. While the condition is benign—meaning not cancerous—the symptoms can significantly impact your daily life.

A weak urine stream, the constant need to visit the loo, or the feeling that your bladder is never truly empty are common prostate condition symptoms. These urinary symptoms can be frustrating and worrying, often raising concerns about prostate cancer.

Understanding Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Gaining a clear understanding of your condition is the first step towards feeling in control. Here is some detailed information about BPH, its symptoms, and the available treatment options for BPH.

No, this is a very important distinction. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is not cancer and having an enlarged prostate does not increase your risk of getting prostate cancer. However, it is possible for a man to have both BPH and prostate cancer at the same time, and the early symptoms can be very similar. For this reason, a proper evaluation by a specialist is essential.

Because the symptoms of BPH and prostate cancer can overlap, it is crucial to see a specialist like Mr Haider Syed to get a definitive diagnosis. A specialist will perform a comprehensive evaluation, which includes discussing your symptoms, a physical examination, and conducting a prostate cancer screening with a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test to rule out other conditions and ensure you receive the correct treatment.

No, surgery is not always the first or only option. For men with mild to moderate symptoms, the initial treatment is often medication. There are two main types of medication used for BPH: alpha-blockers, which work to relax the muscles around the prostate to improve urine flow, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, which work to gradually shrink the prostate gland itself.

When symptoms are more severe or medication is not effective, surgery may be recommended. The “gold-standard” surgical treatment for BPH is a minimally invasive procedure called Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP). This involves passing a thin instrument through the urethra to carefully remove the excess prostate tissue that is causing the urinary obstruction. Other modern options include laser procedures like Photoselective Vaporisation of the Prostate (PVP).

The best treatment plan for your BPH is personalised to you. A specialist will recommend the most appropriate treatment depending on several factors, including the severity of your symptoms (which can be assessed using tools like the International Prostate Symptom Score), the size of your prostate gland, and your overall health.

That’s a very fair question to ask, and it highlights a key difference in the level of care you receive with us. Your health and safety are our absolute priorities, and our pricing reflects the comprehensive, hospital-based service we guarantee.


When you are treated by us, your procedure takes place in a state-of-the-art surgical theatre at Spire Little Aston Hospital, not a multi-purpose clinic or treatment room.

Crucially, you are cared for by an entire specialist team. During any operation, I am supported by an excellent and experienced team of interventional radiologists, anaesthetists, specialist nursing staff, and dedicated support teams. This collaborative, hospital-based approach is vital for ensuring the highest standards of medical safety and care.

Furthermore, our care package is all-inclusive. This means that your journey with us doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. All necessary follow-up appointments and the management of any post-operative concerns are handled directly by us, in the same private hospital setting. You can be assured that you will not be ‘palmed off’ to the NHS; you receive continuous, seamless care from our team from your first consultation to your full recovery.

Causes of BPH

  • The prostate enlargement is described as a natural process that occurs as a man ages.
  • It is caused by hormonal changes that may develop as a man gets older.
  • These changes lead to an increase in the number of prostate cells, which is what the term benign prostatic hyperplasia describes.



Symptoms of Benign prostate

  • A weak or slow urine stream.
  • Difficulty commencing urination.
  • A urine stream that stops and starts.
  • A sensation that your bladder is not completely empty after you finish.
  • An increased need to urinate, particularly at night.
  • A sudden, urgent need to pass urine.

More Serious Problems That Can Develop Without Treatment:

  • Urinary tract infections, which can occur if the bladder doesn’t empty properly.
  • Acute urinary retention, which is a complete and sudden inability to urinate and is a medical emergency.
  • Bladder stones or kidney damage, in severe and long-term cases of obstruction.
