Understanding Prostate Enlargement .

Prostate enlargement, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition affecting men as they age. The prostate gland, located below the bladder, tends to grow over time, potentially leading to urinary difficulties. While BPH is non-cancerous, its symptoms can significantly impact daily life.

Common Symptoms of BPH

Men experiencing prostate enlargement may notice:
  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Weak or interrupted urine stream
  • Inability to completely empty the bladder
  • Urgency to urinate
If you're encountering any of these symptoms, it's essential to consult a urologist for proper evaluation and management.

Causes and Risk Factors

Several factors can contribute to prostate enlargement:
  • Aging: BPH is more prevalent in men over 50.
  • Family history: Genetics can play a role.
  • Lifestyle: Obesity and lack of physical activity may increase risk.
  • Medical conditions: Diabetes and heart disease are associated with higher BPH incidence.
