Prostate Enlargement
This is also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, which is Enlargement of Prostate causing symptoms such as Frequency, Urgency, Decreased Flow and Retention of Urine.
In the early stage of Prostate Enlargement, the Bladder Muscle becomes Thicker and Forces Urine through the narrowed Urethra by contracting more powerfully. As a result, the Bladder Muscle may become more Sensitive, causing a need to Urinate more often and more suddenly.
Enlarged Prostate Symptoms?
A variety of factors may be involved, including Androgens(Male Hormones), Estrogens, Growth Factors and other Cell Signaling Pathways. Many Men with an Enlarged Prostate have no symptoms. If symptoms are present, they commonly include the following:
- A weak stream of Urine
- Difficulty starting Urination
- Dribbling of Urine, especially after Urinating
- A sense of not fully emptying the Bladder
- Leaking Urine
- More frequent Urination and a strong and sudden desire to Urinate, especially at Night
- Blood in the Urine
