Benign Prostatic Obstruction (BPO) is a common condition that affects many men as they age. It occurs when the prostate gland enlarges and blocks the normal flow of urine through the urethra. This can lead to uncomfortable urinary symptoms and may affect daily life if left untreated. 

Dr. Sunirmal Choudhury offers comprehensive diagnosis and advanced treatment options for benign prostatic obstruction, helping patients achieve relief from symptoms and improved urinary function. 

Diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Obstruction 

To diagnose BPO, the following evaluations may be recommended: 

• Detailed medical history and symptom assessment 
• Digital rectal examination (DRE) 
• Urine tests to rule out infection 
• Blood tests including PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) 
• Ultrasound imaging of the prostate and bladder 
• Uroflowmetry to measure urine flow rate 
• Post-void residual urine measurement 

These tests help determine the severity of obstruction and guide treatment decisions.
