Lifestyle Modifications

• Reduce fluid intake before bedtime, limit caffeine and alcohol, and engage in regular physical activity to manage symptoms.

Medications

• Alpha-blockers: Medications like tamsulosin relax prostate and bladder neck muscles to improve urine flow.
• 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors: Drugs such as finasteride shrink the prostate over time.
• Combination therapy: Using both medication types together for enhanced symptom control.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

• Options like transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT) or transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) reduce prostate size with minimal recovery time.

Surgical Treatments

• Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP): Standard surgery to remove obstructive prostate tissue.
• Other options include laser therapies and open prostatectomy for larger or complicated cases.

Follow-up and Specialist Care

• Regular monitoring by a urologist is crucial to assess symptom progression and treatment effectiveness.
• Seek immediate medical attention for complications like urinary retention or infections.
