How is benign prostate enlargement (BPH) treated — is surgery mandatory?

Treatment depends on symptom severity, prostate volume and overall health. Mild symptoms may only need monitoring or medication, while surgical and minimally invasive options such as HoLEP or TUR-P come into play when medication fails or complications like urinary retention or recurrent infection appear. Surgery is not mandatory for every patient; the decision is individual. Please consult a urology specialist for your own situation.
