  Do You Have Prostate Cancer or BPH?

  Sep 22, 202628 minS4

  Experiencing frequent urination, urgency, weak or intermittent flow, or getting up several times during the night? In this episode of PROSTATE CANCER: REAL TALK, El and Shay welcome back Dr. Adam B. Murphy of Northwestern Medicine to discuss BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia, and how urinary symptoms can sometimes leave men wondering whether something more serious may be happening. Dr. Murphy explains how an enlarged prostate can affect the urethra and bladder, leading to symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination, nighttime trips to the bathroom, dribbling, and different forms of urinary leakage. He also discusses how physicians evaluate how disruptive these symptoms are and why treatment decisions can vary from one man to another. The conversation also explores common BPH treatment approaches, including medications that relax the urinary tract or shrink the prostate, along with procedures that remove or move obstructing prostate tissue using techniques such as lasers, water, steam, or other minimally invasive methods. This episode helps men better understand BPH, prostate health, and when urinary changes are worth discussing with a medical professional. www.prostatecancerrealtalk.com
