Dr. Rena Malik, urologist and pelvic surgeon, provides an in-depth, evidence-based discussion on the wide range of surgical options for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate. The episode covers minimally invasive procedures like Rezum, Urolift, iTind, Optilume, and Aquaablation, as well as traditional surgeries including TURP, laser therapies, enucleation techniques, and robotic simple prostatectomy. Dr. Malik examines the benefits and risks of each treatment, addresses the impact on sexual function and recovery, and shares guidance on how to choose the right option based on prostate size, anatomy, overall health, and personal preferences.
