Today we are joined by Dr. Joel Hillelsohn, a board-certified urologist at New York University Medical Center. He also serves as a clinical assistant professor at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine. Dr. Hillelsohn joins us to discuss the BPH treatment options and which ones are best suited to facilitate good erectile function.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting many men as they age, causing urinary symptoms and potentially impacting sexual function. While medications like Flomax and finasteride are often prescribed as initial treatments, they can have side effects such as retrograde ejaculation or decreased libido.
However, in recent years, medical advancements have introduced new minimally invasive procedures for treating BPH with minimal risk to sexual function. These alternatives offer hope for men concerned about preserving their sexual health while addressing urinary issues.
Additionally, medications like daily low-dose Cialis can sometimes address both BPH and erectile dysfunction simultaneously. It's crucial for patients to discuss all available options with their urologist, as treatments continue to evolve. Men experiencing increased urination frequency or nighttime waking should seek evaluation, as early intervention can prevent long-term bladder changes and improve overall quality of life.
