BPH is a More Common Problem Than You Think

An enlarged prostate is one of the most frequent health concerns facing men as they age. It disrupts sleep, slows down routines, and chips away at quality of life. The numbers show just how widespread it is.

Half of all men over 50 are already living with BPH
By 80, more than 8 out of 10 men are affected
Over 14 million men in the U.S. are actively seeking treatment
BPH is the top reason older men experience urinary issues

What You Need to Know

What is BPH

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra and bladder, making it harder for urine to pass. The condition is common with age and can gradually lead to frustrating and disruptive urinary symptoms.

Common BPH Symptoms

BPH symptoms tend to develop slowly but can significantly affect daily comfort and routine. Many men write them off as part of aging, but they’re treatable—and often avoidable with the right care. BPH symptoms include:

  • Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
  • Weak or slow urine stream
  • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  • A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
  • Blood in the urine
  • Dribbling at the end of urination
  • Sudden, urgent need to urinate

Causes & Risk Factors

BPH is a natural part of aging for many men, but certain factors make it more likely to develop or progress over time. Understanding your risk can help you take the next step toward relief.

  • Hormonal changes, particularly involving testosterone
  • Age 50 and older
  • Family history of prostate enlargement
  • Heart disease or circulatory issues
  • Type 2 diabetes or obesity
  • Sedentary lifestyle or poor diet

What Happens if BPH Is Left Untreated

If your BPH goes untreated, symptoms may worsen and lead to complications such as urinary retention, bladder stones, or urinary tract infections. Chronic discomfort, interrupted sleep, and the anxiety of being near a bathroom at all times can seriously impact quality of life.

Prostate Artery Embolization

A Modern, Nonsurgical Solution for BPH

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive BPH treatment that offers lasting relief without the risks of surgery or the side effects of medication. Performed by our skilled interventional radiologist, PAE reduces blood flow to your enlarged prostate. This causes the gland to shrink, easing pressure on the bladder and improving urinary flow. At Texas I.R. we offer PAE as an outpatient procedure at our Katy clinic using real-time imaging for precision and safety. With a 75 to 85 percent success rate, patients typically see improvements in urgency, frequency, and interrupted sleep within weeks, all without general anesthesia or hospital recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a BPH specialist?

No referral is necessary to schedule a consultation with an enlarged prostate doctor at Texas I.R. We welcome patients from across the Houston metro area directly and make it easy to get clear answers without long wait times or multiple office visits.
Is BPH covered by insurance?
Yes. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover evaluation and treatment by a BPH doctor. Our team is happy to check your benefits and help you understand what’s included before moving forward.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Most men notice improvement within the first two to six weeks after their minimally invasive treatment for BPH. Full relief can continue to build over several months as the prostate gradually shrinks.

Can I drive myself home after the procedure?

Because our BPH treatments are performed under local anesthesia with light sedation, you will need someone to drive you home. Most patients are back to normal activities within a few days.
Can an enlarged prostate go back to normal on its own?
BPH typically doesn’t reverse without treatment. While some symptoms may improve with lifestyle changes, the condition progresses with age. Early care can help prevent complications and improve your quality of life.
What are the side effects of BPH treatments?
All BPH treatments come with potential side effects, but they vary based on the option you choose. Medications can cause fatigue, dizziness, and sexual side effects like low libido or ejaculation changes. Surgical procedures such as TURP may lead to longer recovery times, bleeding, urinary incontinence, or retrograde ejaculation. Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) has a lower risk profile but may cause temporary pelvic discomfort, increased urinary frequency, or mild burning with urination in the first few days. At Texas I.R., our enlarged prostate doctors will walk you through every option and set clear expectations so you can make a decision that fits your goals and comfort level.
