Quick & Painless Treatment for Enlarged Prostate

Enlarged Prostate

The prostate plays a significant role in the male reproductive system by producing semen. An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a non-cancerous condition where the prostate gland grows in size larger than its normal size. As the prostate gland enlarges, it can put pressure on the urethra, making it difficult for men to pass urine or emptying their bladder completely. This pressure can lead to changes in the bladder and urethra.

Common Symptoms

• Difficulty starting or maintaining a steady stream of urine.
• Frequent urge to urinate especially at night.
• Sudden and an intense need to urinate.
• Forceful straining to urinate start the flow of urine.
• Feeling that the bladder is not fully emptied even after urinating.
• Uncomfortable, painful urination along with burning sensation.
• Waking up multiple times at night to urinate.

Risk Factors

• Men over the age of 50 years are at a greater risk of developing prostate enlargement.
• If you have a history of male family members with prostate problems, your chances of getting BPH increases more than the average male.
• If you are overweight, with a BMI of 30 or greater, your risk of developing an enlarged prostate increases greatly.
• Having a sedentary lifestyle with minimum to no physical activity, puts one at a higher risk for prostate enlargement.
• If you are diabetic or have high blood pressure or heart disease may predispose you to developing an enlarged prostate.
