Your doctor may decide that your enlarging prostate is not at the point where it needs treatment, and may recommend you wait and see if your symptoms worsen.

Watchful waiting with Enlarging Prostate involves regular prostate exams by your doctor. If you feel comfortable with this treatment option, your doctor will monitor the progression of this typically slow-moving disease through regular examinations.

However, if your symptoms continue to worsen, or you are diagnosed with Enlarging Prostate, you should consider treatment. Be sure to pay close attention to any urinary symptoms that may develop or worsen during this time, and contact your doctor to discuss possible treatment options.

If left untreated, Enlarging Prostate can lead to potentially serious problems. These include urinary symptoms that get worse, blockage of urine flow from the bladder, and even prostate surgery.
