You can use 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride.

One of the primary causes of BPH is from androgens, specifically the conversion of testosterone -> dihydrotestoerone via the 5-ar enzyme.

The prostate is an androgen-sensitive tissue, and DHT causes enlargement.

It's not guaranteed to fix it, but it's one option.

I wish we all could agree on a terminology where taking a pill daily is management, not a cure.

A cure should be a one-off measure after which one stays cured. If not forever then at least for years.

Something that needs to be repeated, esp. daily, should have a different word. That’s not a cure.
