Men suffering from BPH face several options how to deal with the situation. Since quality of life may be compromised in some treatments, advantages and disadvantages, risks and benefits of procedures have to be carefully discussed with health professionals and weighted against each other. Ideally the patients partner is being involved in these discussions.

- Watchful waiting
- Medications (e.g. finasteride, alpha blockers)
- Prostatic stents
- Laser (e.g., non-contact, contact, interstitial types)
- Microwave (e.g., TUMT)
- Other thermotherapies (e.g., Prostiva™ RF therapy
- Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
- Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP)
- Prostatectomy
- Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP)
- Transurethral ultrasound-guided laser incision of the prostate (TULIP)
- Nutrition
- Supplements
- Herbal remedies
