A healthy prostate ensures your good health.
For men over 40, we strongly recommend an annual prostate screen (PSA exam), because symptoms may not always appear. However, when any of the following symptoms are apparent, we urge patients to call Lubbock Urology for an appointment immediately:

• Weak urination
• Start-and-stop urination
• Awakening at night with the urge to urinate
• Painful or burning urination
• Frequent urges to urinate
• Post urination urges to urinate again

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is commonly known as “enlarged prostate.” BPH is easily diagnosed in our office by history and exam. The severity of the enlarged prostate can be further assessed by using ultrasound or cystoscopy (bladder examination). Lubbock Urology uses the latest medications, minimally invasive procedures and traditional surgery, including transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), to safely shrink an enlarged prostate.
