For most men, the reality of aging means developing an enlarged prostate. In fact, an enlarged prostate — medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — affects about half of all men between ages 51 and 60. Up to 90% of men over age 80 have BPH.
When the prostate is enlarged, it can bother or block the bladder. This can cause some men to run to the bathroom several times a night or feel they need to always be close to a restroom, affecting their quality of life.
Hear board-certified urologist Madeline R. Koerner, MD, MBA, of Colorado Urology discuss the causes, symptoms and complications of untreated BPH. She will then describe medications and surgeries for treating BPH, including Aquablation — a new minimally invasive, robotically controlled procedure that limits the irreversible side effects of traditional surgery.
