What Is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?
BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that becomes more common with age. While not life-threatening, it can significantly affect a man’s comfort, sleep, and overall well-being. Common symptoms include:
- Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night
- Weak or interrupted urine stream
- Difficulty starting urination
- A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
- Sudden urges that are hard to control
Left untreated, BPH can lead to bladder damage, urinary tract infections, or kidney problems. That’s why timely evaluation and treatment are essential.
How Drs. Jackson & Taylor Treat BPH
Dr. Taylor and Dr. Jackson’s urology treatment at the clinic always starts with a thorough evaluation, clear communication, and a collaborative plan tailored to each patient's needs. Our providers are board-certified by the American Board of Urology and members of the American Urological Association, bringing nationally recognized standards to local care.
We offer a full spectrum of BPH treatments, from conservative approaches to highly advanced procedures. These include:
Lifestyle Changes and Medications
For some men with mild to moderate symptoms, medications such as alpha-blockers or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may help. Our surgeons also offer guidance on behavioral changes like limiting fluid intake before bed or avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine & alcohol. These, and other personalized pro-tips in combination with physical therapy, significantly reduce symptoms of urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage.
Minimally Invasive Options
For men who want long-term relief without major surgery, Dr. Jackson and Dr. Taylor offer the latest innovations, including:
- UroLift® – Small implants lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way of the urethra. It’s done in-office and has a fast recovery time.
- Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy – Uses steam to safely shrink excess prostate tissue, improving urine flow with minimal side effects.
These treatments are excellent choices for men who want to avoid long-term medications or whose symptoms aren’t well-managed by pills.
Surgical Procedures
For more advanced cases, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) may be recommended. These are more involved but offer long-lasting results. You are in the best of hands with some of Idaho’s most experienced BPH surgeons. Drs. Jackson and Taylor ensure these procedures are performed with precision and the highest standard of care. The follow-up care

FAQs
Is BPH the same as prostate cancer?
No. BPH is a benign (non-cancerous) condition and does not increase your risk of prostate cancer.
Will I need surgery for BPH?
Not always. Many men manage symptoms with medications or minimally invasive therapies. Drs. Jackson and Taylor will help determine the best option for you.
How long does recovery take after a UroLift® or Rezūm™ procedure?
Most men return to normal activities within a few days. Full symptom relief can take a few weeks.
Can BPH go away on its own?
Unfortunately, no. BPH is a progressive condition that does not typically resolve without management or treatment. In other words, it tends to worsen with time. Early treatment helps prevent complications and improve comfort.
Does BPH affect sexual function?
Yes, some treatments can have an impact. However, preserving sexual function is a key consideration in modern BPH care. Our surgeons, Drs. Jackson and Taylor, will help you weigh the risks and benefits of all available options. They are uniquely able to explain how different options affect sexual function and help you make a choice that's right for you.
