Do you wake up a number of times at night to urinate?
Have you noticed a "slow stream"?
When you go somewhere do you first look for a restroom?

condition known as BPH or Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy.
While these symptoms can be annoying, the good news is these symptoms can be treated. The Physicians of Metropolitan Urology can assist you in relieving these symptoms. Treatment ranges from medical/pharmaceutical therapy to surgical intervention.

It is uncertain what exactly is the cause of BPH. Simply put it is a condition as a result of a "growing problem" to quote recent commercials. Tissue surrounding the prostate gland grows as a man grows older.

Symptoms can be equated to a clamp on a garden hose. If left untreated BPH can cause problems such as: Urinary Retention (inability to pass urine), UTI (bladder infections) Incontinence (leakage of urine) Blood in urine, Damage to Kidneys of Bladder.

The first step is to make an appointment with any of our physicians for a consultation. Your doctor will take a medical history as well as a physical examination. You and your physician will then decide in the best treatment based on your symptoms. Metropolitan Urology surgical scheduling department will contact you within 1 week of your initial consultation.
