BPH is a condition that occurs in men when the prostate gland is enlarged but not cancerous. Factors such as family history, lifestyle, and overall medical condition can affect your risk for developing BPH.
The occurrence and severity of BPH symptoms vary, but it does tend to increase with age.
Are you experiencing any of these lower urinary tract problems typical of an enlarged prostate?
- Inability to empty your bladder
- Frequent urination at night
- Weak, interrupted urine stream
- Dribbling of urine
- Urinary tract infections
If you experience even minor urinary difficulties, the choice to consult with a board certified urology specialist is a wise one. You can have your symptoms and health condition evaluated for the best options to keep your urinary and reproductive systems healthy and your quality of life unhindered.
It’s important to be diagnosed as early as possible if you are experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms typical of prostate enlargement. Left untreated, BPH can lead to tremendous discomfort, inadequate sexual function, and serious health consequences.
