Prostate Health Care Online at Urology Video Visit

Introduction: Why Prostate Health Matters

The prostate is a small gland, but it plays a big role in men’s health. Conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and other prostate disorders affect millions of men, particularly as they age. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), more than half of men over age 50 have symptoms of prostate enlargement.

At Urology Video Visit, our board-certified providers offer private telehealth consultations to evaluate urinary symptoms, discuss treatment options, and, when appropriate, prescribe FDA-approved medications such as finasteride or tamsulosin.

Common Prostate Conditions

Prostate health problems vary in severity, but many can be managed effectively through early diagnosis and treatment.

  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to urinary difficulties.
  • Prostatitis: Inflammation or infection of the prostate, often causing pain and urinary symptoms.
  • Prostate Cancer: While cancer requires specialized in-person care, telemedicine can help identify symptoms and guide referrals.

Early recognition is important. Telehealth provides a first step toward evaluation and management.

Symptoms of Prostate Health Issues

Men with prostate conditions may experience:

  • Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
  • Weak or interrupted urine stream
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Urgency or inability to fully empty the bladder
  • Pelvic or perineal discomfort (more common in prostatitis)

If these symptoms persist, medical evaluation is recommended.

Treatment Options for Prostate Conditions

Prostate care depends on the underlying condition and severity. Our providers may recommend:

  • Lifestyle adjustments: Reducing caffeine/alcohol, improving hydration habits, bladder training.
  • Medications:
    • Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker): Relaxes prostate and bladder muscles to improve urine flow.
    • Finasteride (5-alpha-reductase inhibitor): Shrinks enlarged prostate over time by reducing DHT hormone levels.
    • Antibiotics: Prescribed for bacterial prostatitis.
  • Monitoring: Some men only require regular check-ups if symptoms are mild.
  • Referral: If cancer or severe complications are suspected, patients are referred for in-person testing.

⚠️ Medications are prescribed only after consultation and if clinically appropriate.
