Start with symptoms.
Frequency, urgency, night waking, weak stream, incomplete emptying, retention, and catheter concerns.
BPH / enlarged prostate visit prep
A calmer way to prepare for a prostate symptom visit.
ProcedurePath helps you turn urinary symptoms, medication questions, procedure options, and side-effect concerns into a clinician-facing checklist.
Urinary symptom questions
Medicine and procedure tradeoffs
PAE, urology, logistics

Why BPH deserves its own page
BPH is the sharper wedge. “General prostate” is a later hub.
BPH has a specific symptom pattern, decision set, and procedure lane. A general prostate page would mix BPH, cancer screening, biopsy, prostatitis, and erectile/sexual-health concerns too early.
Compare discussion lanes.
Tracking, medicines, urology procedures, surgery, PAE, and what workup is still missing.
Leave with questions.
A clean checklist to copy, print, and bring into a urology or interventional radiology visit.
What your BPH checklist can cover
Focused sections for the questions patients often wish they had asked before choosing the next step.
Urgency, night waking, stream, emptying
Questions about storage and voiding symptoms, bladder emptying, urine flow, and what else could contribute.
Alpha blockers, 5-ARIs, bladder medicines
Prompts about side effects, timing, combination therapy, and medicines that can worsen urinary symptoms.
Urology procedures, surgery, PAE
Questions about workup, recovery, catheter time, sexual side effects, repeat treatment, and follow-up.
Records, PSA context, symptom diary
A practical prep list so the clinician has the context needed to move the conversation forward.
Safety boundary
Built for navigation, not diagnosis.
ProcedurePath is deliberately narrow in beta. It helps prepare questions. It does not diagnose BPH, interpret PSA or imaging, decide treatment fit, recommend a procedure, or create a physician-patient relationship.
Urgent urinary symptoms stop here. Inability to urinate, fever/chills with urinary symptoms, severe pain, blood clots or heavy blood in urine, new back/flank pain, confusion/weakness, or emergency concern should go to urgent/emergency care or your clinician now.
Strict boundary: ProcedurePath creates questions, not answers. It does not diagnose, interpret scans/labs, recommend medicines/procedures, give cancer screening advice, provide provider referrals, or collect PHI in this beta.
