Frequently asked questions

How long can treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia last?
The duration of treatment can vary significantly depending on the type of intervention. If it's medical management, it's usually a long-term treatment. If we opt for a surgical procedure, initial recovery can take a few weeks, but the effects on symptom improvement are usually faster.
What are the costs associated with treatment, and are there financing options?
Costs depend on the type of treatment selected, whether medical or surgical. During the consultation, I will provide you with a detailed estimate. We can explore whether your health insurance covers part of the expenses and discuss possible payment plans to make health accessible.
What side effects can be expected from the treatment?
Like any medical intervention, there are possible side effects. In the case of medications, these may include dizziness or changes in ejaculation. For surgical procedures, mild bleeding, infections, or temporary changes in sexual function could occur. We will thoroughly discuss these aspects before making any decision.
What should I expect during my first consultation?
In your first consultation, I will focus on attentively listening to your symptoms and concerns. I will perform a physical evaluation and likely request some tests to get a clear picture of your situation. It's an opportunity for you to express all your doubts, and for us to define the next steps together.
Are there contraindications for certain Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia treatments?
Yes, some pre-existing medical conditions or the use of certain medications can influence treatment options. For example, heart problems or clotting disorders may require special considerations if surgery is contemplated. Therefore, a complete evaluation of your clinical history is fundamental.
What treatment alternatives exist if I do not wish to have surgery?
Fortunately, there are several alternatives to surgical treatment, especially for mild to moderate cases. This includes lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, and a wide range of medications that can help relax the prostate or reduce its size. I will evaluate with you which option is most convenient for your particular case.
