What are my treatment options?

Weigh the benefits and risks

Choosing the right treatment to relieve BPH symptoms is a personal choice. Each treatment may improve symptoms, but each has different risks, complications and chances of success. Talk with your doctor about the pros and cons of various treatments and which is best for your case and lifestyle.

Here are some questions you might want to ask your doctor about various BPH treatments:

  • How well does the treatment work?
  • How long will it take to notice results?
  • Are the results of the treatment long-lasting?
  • Is the treatment a one-time event or will I need more treatments?
  • What are the possible complications and side effects?
  • What are the costs, both short-term and long-term?
  • Can the treatment be done in the office/clinic, or will I need to go to a hospital?
  • Is the treatment painful?
  • Will I need time off from work to recover?
  • Will I have to use a urinary catheter, and if so, for how long?

Your doctor will help you decide which treatment is right for you.
