What You Have To Know About Enlarged Prostate

Older men are more at risk of suffering from an enlarged prostate. If there is a delay in the treatment of the problem, it will hinder the flow of urine from the bladder. This will result in urinary tract infections, bladder problems and it may cause kidney problems.

This gland is a male organ that makes the bulk of the fluid that is present in semen. The gland is situated underneath the bladder. The tube which aid the passage of urine from your bladder and out of your penis is the urethra. The tube extends through the prostate. As soon as this gland grows it presses on the passage which then shrinks and hinders the flow of urine. It is suggested that this happens when there are sex hormone imbalances in aging males.

The infection may worsen if not treated. One of the symptoms is if you have to strain to urinate. You may also experience problems when you try to start urinating. Another symptom is if there are intermittent breaks in urination. The urgent need to urinate often may also be present. You may feel that your bladder has not been emptied sufficiently.

What Are Some Symptoms of Prostate Trouble? Nurse's Guide

If the prostate gets too swollen it can cause a bladder infection. This bladder infection can be severe and become chronic due to the enlargement of the gland. The severity of the infection can cause one to become weak and cause systemic infection symptoms not immediately associated with this gland. A urine test will determine if there is a bladder infection.

If the prostate gland is ignored, the bladder infections may continue and cause bladder stones and even kidney damage. Most symptoms are caused by BPH but they can also be indicators of more serious problems including prostate cancer. The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test has been used over the past few years - originally as a possible prostate cancer indication. However that has become less reliable and now is only used as a guideline.

Most early prostate cancers in their early and most treatable stages don't cause any symptoms. But if it develops and is not recognized or treated, it can cause these - a need to urinate frequently, especially during the night and a difficulty starting urination or a holding back of the urine flow.

In any event these are the symptoms of the most common problems - BPH and cancer. One should be aware of them and get diagnosed and treated as soon as they recognize there is a problem. Prostate troubles concern most men over 50. Get informed about the symptoms and see your doctor for a reliable diagnosis. Make sure to ask for a urine test in case it's not suggested. Bladder infections caused by enlarged prostates are often missed.
