In this episode:

• Male urinary dysfunction falls into three categories: voiding symptoms (affecting the bladder outlet), storage symptoms (often from an overactive bladder), and red flags requiring urgent referral
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia shares risk factors with cardiovascular disease and erectile dysfunction, suggesting a holistic approach to assessment and management
• Minimally invasive prostate surgery offers advantages, including day surgery, faster recovery, less bleeding, and better preservation of sexual function
• Healthcare professionals should refer patients when medical therapy fails to meet expectations or when red flags are present
• Early referrals and effective treatments can help patients regain their quality of life
