Non-surgical options for reducing an enlarged prostate include lifestyle changes, medications, and minimally invasive procedures.

Lifestyle adjustments like reducing caffeine and alcohol, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight can help manage symptoms. Medications like alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors can relax prostate muscles or shrink the prostate, respectively.

Minimally invasive procedures, such as transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT), or prostate artery embolization (PAE), use heat or other methods to reduce the prostate tissue.
