What Is BPH Management?
Dealing with an enlarged prostate can be frustrating, but effective treatments are available to improve daily comfort and health. Modern Urology in Miami, FL offers advanced care for benign prostatic hyperplasia management, helping patients regain control over their well-being. Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition where the prostate gland grows larger, putting pressure on the urethra and affecting urination. This condition is common in aging men and can cause disruptive symptoms. Several factors contribute to the causes of an enlarged prostate, including hormonal changes, aging, and family history. While BPH symptoms can be mild at first, they often worsen over time, making timely care important. Managing BPH involves addressing symptoms and improving quality of life through medical therapies or procedures. To learn more about enlarged prostate treatment, schedule a consultation at Modern Urology in Miami, FL.
How Is BPH Treated?
Enlarged prostate treatment depends on the severity of symptoms. Options range from lifestyle adjustments and medications to minimally invasive procedures or surgery. Treatments may include:
- Medications: Alpha blockers to relax prostate muscles or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors to shrink the gland.
- Lifestyle modifications: Fluid management and dietary changes.
- Minimally invasive procedures: Techniques like Rezum™ water vapor therapy, which uses steam to remove excess prostate tissue, or UroLift®, a system that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra to improve urine flow.
- Surgical options: Procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), which involves removing part of the prostate to relieve urinary symptoms.
What to Expect After BPH Management
Following BPH treatment at our Miami, FL practice, many patients begin to notice easier urination and fewer disruptions to their daily routine. Some mild discomfort or increased urgency may occur shortly after treatment, but generally fades quickly. Follow-up appointments are important to track your progress and adjust treatment if necessary. Lifestyle advice will be offered to help support your recovery and long-term prostate health. Our team at Modern Urology is always available to answer questions and provide ongoing care throughout your journey.

- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Weak or slow urinary stream
- Difficulty starting urination

Modern Urology Reviews
Tengo la mejor opinión del staff y del dr José Vilaro por el trato tan respetuoso y profesional y los que lean este mensaje les digo que este servicio es excelente,por lo que no duden en asistir al mismo.Gracias.
I don't typically write reviews on Google, but Dr. Vilaro absolutely deserves an exception, and I only wish I'd done this sooner. From the moment I first saw him, it was clear that he was the embodiment of patience and empathy. He took the time to carefully listen to my symptoms, no matter how abrupt or complex, and made sure I fully understood every possible course of treatment by writing things out and diagramming them. Although my symptoms weren't pathogenic and couldn't be treated immediately, Dr. Vilaro went above and beyond by referring me to the right specialists, who are now providing excellent care. I’m truly grateful for his thoughtful and thorough approach.
Very grateful especially to Dr. Vilaro, after 10 years of suffering from pain due to kidney stones, he was the only one who gave the solution to my problem, in addition to being a good professional, he is an incredible human being. May God continue to bless you to give the best to your patients. I rarely recommend someone, this is the exception, I recommend this clinic a thousand times and especially Dr. Vilaro.
Very friendly and professional
Very professional, very good treatment from the front desk to the doctor
