Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a type of prostate surgery to alleviate severe symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

How is BPH diagnosed?

Diagnosis

  1. Digital rectal exam. The doctor inserts a finger into the rectum to check your prostate for enlargement.
  2. Urine test. Analyzing a sample of your urine can help rule out an infection or other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
  3. Blood test.
  4. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.

BPH may occur when these hormone changes trigger prostate cell growth. Another theory is about the role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This male hormone supports prostate development. Some studies show that older men have higher levels of DHT.
