For the treatment of enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), several options are available. Lifestyle changes like reducing fluid intake before bedtime and avoiding caffeine and alcohol can help. Medications such as alpha-blockers can relax the muscles around the prostate and improve urine flow. Another type of medication, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, can shrink the prostate over time. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be necessary. These can include procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Regular check-ups with a doctor are important to monitor the condition and determine the most appropriate treatment.
