Synopsis
Management includes modifications in routine (limiting fluids at bedtime, caffeine intake, and diuretics) and medications. BPH can cause acute urinary retention, which requires catheterization. Patients with poor results may seek surgical treatment such as prostatic urethral lift, transurethral resection of the prostate, transurethral incision of the prostate, or prostate laser surgery.
