Don’t Let an Enlarged Prostate Control Your Life
If you look for the bathroom every time you enter a store or restaurant, your bladder may be telling you something. An urgent need to pee, a weak urine stream, feeling like you’re unable to completely empty your bladder, and waking numerous times to pee all are symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH). It’s common as men age. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with it.
Relief begins with a simple test
An accurate diagnosis often begins with a UroCuff test. This simple, non-invasive, 10-minute test takes place at the urology office. Results provide important insight into the cause of your symptoms and tells your urologist if your bladder and urethra work effectively when you urinate.
Watch Dr. Alexander Epelbaum discuss options for diagnosing and treating BPH.
