Prostate Health Services at Urogyn Busan
The prostate gland is a walnut-sized gland located below the bladder, surrounding the urethra. It produces components of seminal fluid and plays an important role in ejaculatory function. Three main conditions affect the prostate: benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis (inflammation), and prostate cancer. Together they account for one of the most common reasons men over 40 attend a urology clinic.
Regular prostate health assessment is recommended for all men from age 50 (or from age 40 in men with a family history of prostate cancer or African ancestry, who have higher baseline risk). A PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test is the primary screening tool for both prostate cancer and BPH. At Urogyn Busan, PSA results are available on the same day, allowing the urologist to discuss findings and next steps in a single visit.
BPH — Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
BPH is the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that occurs as part of normal ageing. It affects over 50% of men by age 60 and 90% by age 85. As the prostate enlarges, it compresses the urethra, causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS): urinary frequency, urgency, weak or interrupted stream, incomplete emptying, and nocturia (waking at night to urinate). The IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) questionnaire quantifies symptom severity and guides treatment decisions. First-line medical treatment uses alpha-blockers (tamsulosin, alfuzosin) to relax smooth muscle and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) to shrink the prostate over time. Surgical referral is arranged for significant obstructive uropathy.
Prostatitis
Prostatitis — inflammation of the prostate — is categorised into bacterial (acute or chronic) and non-bacterial (chronic pelvic pain syndrome, CPPS) forms. Acute bacterial prostatitis presents with fever, rigors, severe pelvic and perineal pain, and dysuria — it requires urgent antibiotic treatment. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is characterised by recurrent UTIs with the same organism. CPPS (the most common category) presents with chronic pelvic and perineal pain without a clear infective cause and requires a multimodal treatment approach including alpha-blockers, anti-inflammatory therapy, and pelvic floor physiotherapy.
