Can You Prevent an Enlarged Prostate? A Urologist Explains

Prostate enlargement is one of the most common health concerns for men over 40. But can you actually prevent it? In this video, board-certified urologist Dr. Adriana Wells explains what really causes prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) and what men can realistically do to reduce their risk. You’ll learn how hormones, inflammation, metabolism, and lifestyle factors influence prostate growth — and why certain habits may help protect prostate health as you age. Many men assume urinary symptoms like a weak stream, frequent urination, or waking up at night to urinate are just a normal part of aging. But understanding what’s happening inside the body can help you make smarter decisions about prevention and treatment. In this video we discuss: • Why the prostate enlarges with age • The role of testosterone and DHT • How inflammation affects prostate growth • The connection between obesity, diabetes, and BPH • The impact of exercise on prostate health • Which medications may worsen urinary symptoms • Diet patterns linked to prostate enlargement • The truth about lycopene and tomatoes • When prostate treatment may be necessary Dr. Wells also explains when symptoms should prompt a visit to a urologist and what questions patients should ask when discussing prostate health. If you’re over 40, or if someone you love is dealing with prostate symptoms, this information can help you understand what’s happening and what steps may help protect long-term urinary health.
