NHS waiting times
Data through July 2026. NHS source.
Across NHS hospitals in England, the median wait for Urology Service — the specialty most enlarged prostate (bph) cases are routed to — is 10 weeks, with 6 in 10 patients seen within the 18-week NHS Constitution target. Important context: enlarged prostate is managed in Urology — most men are treated medically first; the surgical wait for procedures like TURP tracks close to the Urology specialty average shown below.
The national median NHS wait for Enlarged prostate (BPH) is 10 weeks as of July 2026, across 217 NHS trusts and independent providers reporting to the NHS, and 9 in 10 current patients are within 36 weeks. But the wait varies significantly between trusts — see the full ranking to find the shortest wait near you.
The median shows time waited so far by the current list — a new routine referral will often wait longer. Why these differ →
If your GP suspects cancer, this is different. This kind of test or treatment is also used to investigate cancer. If you have been referred on the urgent suspected-cancer pathway (the two-week wait), that is separate from the routine waiting list below — you should be seen quickly wherever you are referred, and it is not something to shop around on. If you have symptoms that worry you, speak to your GP.
