Your Healthcare Team
Take the first step toward eliminating your urinary symptoms due to enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) by talking to your doctor. If you see your family doctor, he or she may refer you to an urologist for an evaluation. You may also choose to go directly to a urologist to discuss your symptoms and treatment options.
Ultimately, your urologist will plan and provide your treatment, which may include daily BPH medication, RF therapy, or other options. Be sure to talk candidly with your urologist about your symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment concerns.

The urology nurse works closely with your physician and will be a key contact for many of your initial questions.
