Prostate issues, including prostatitis and benign enlargement, can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, night-time urination, and pelvic discomfort. At Dr Tan Medical Center, assessment and treatment are discussed based on symptoms, suspected cause, and severity.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland unique to men, with commonly dismissed or misdiagnosed issues. Common prostate issues include inflammation and enlargement. Our center has more than 16 years of experience in helping men deal with various forms of prostate issues.

Some possible symptoms of Prostate Inflammation (Prostatitis) include:

Discomfort in the perineum
Pain at the tip of the penis
Urinary frequency

Some possible symptoms of Prostate Enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – BPH) include:

Needing to go to the toilet more often especially at night
Poor or slow urinary stream
Needing to wait for a significant amount of time before the urine starts flowing

Specific treatments for Prostatitis include:

Antibiotics
Anti-inflammatories
Medications to improve the health of nerves
Medications to improve blood flow to the pelvis
ESWT

The treatment for Prostate Enlargement (BPH) nowadays consists mainly of taking medications. For severe and complex cases, surgery may be necessary but this occurs only in the minority of cases.
