Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Get your nights — and your bladder — back.
Online Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) evaluations are launching soon and are not yet available. Dr. Gousse Solutions does not sell prescription medication online. The information below describes the upcoming telehealth service.
An enlarged prostate causes weak stream, urgency and getting up at night. We use the validated IPSS score plus a clinician review to recommend the right plan.
Treatment options (available when telehealth launches)
- Alpha-blockers (tamsulosin) — Relaxes prostate muscle for better flow.
- 5-ARIs (finasteride) — Shrinks the prostate over time.
- Combination therapy — Best for moderate-to-severe symptoms.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know if I have BPH?
- BPH typically presents as weak urinary stream, hesitancy, urgency, frequent urination, and waking at night to urinate. We use the validated IPSS questionnaire to quantify severity.
- Is BPH dangerous?
- BPH itself is non-cancerous, but untreated symptoms can lead to bladder damage, infections, and reduced quality of life. PSA and prostate cancer screening are separate evaluations your clinician may recommend.
- How long until BPH medication works?
- Alpha-blockers like tamsulosin can improve flow within days. 5-ARIs like finasteride take 3–6 months to shrink the prostate measurably.
- Can I be evaluated for BPH online?
- Yes. Adults 18+ in Florida can complete the IPSS screen online; a urologist reviews your history and orders labs or referral if needed.
