Shrinking Your Prostate Naturally And Avoiding Urination Troubles

Can an enlarged prostate (BPH) be treated without surgery? Dr. Stephen Petteruti explains what causes prostate enlargement, why inflammation matters, and how lifestyle, medications, and targeted therapies may help improve urinary symptoms while avoiding unnecessary procedures. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti discusses benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), one of the most common causes of urinary symptoms in aging men. He explains why inflammation, prostate size, and bladder function all contribute to frequent urination, nighttime urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying, while addressing common misconceptions about testosterone and prostate growth. You'll learn practical strategies for managing BPH, including nutrition, weight management, supplements, medications, and lifestyle changes that may improve urinary function. Dr. Petteruti also reviews procedural options such as HOLEP, Rezūm, and UroLift, explaining when these treatments may be appropriate and why surgery should not always be the first step. Whether you're waking up several times each night to urinate, have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate, or are considering surgery, this episode provides an evidence-informed discussion of the options available to help you make thoughtful decisions about your prostate health.
