BPH: Know the Signs and Symptoms

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a prostate that has grown to be larger than normal. BPH is not prostate cancer.

As the prostate grows and becomes larger than normal, it may:

  1. Constrict the urethra, making it difficult to urinate
  2. Apply pressure on the bladder, causing it to weaken and have difficulty emptying

If left untreated, BPH can cause significant health problems, including irreversible bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones, and incontinence.

Men suffering from BPH report one of two main complaints:  the ability to hold urine and the ability to get rid of it.

Problems holding urine include:

  • frequency (going more often, especially at night)
  • urgency (that “gotta go!” feeling)
  • incontinence (a total inability to hold it)

Problems voiding can include:

  • hesitancy (having to think about it or even strain to get going)
  • pain during urination
  • a weak stream
  • intermittency (that “start/stop” feeling)
  • retention (the feeling that you still need to go, even after you just went)

According to the American Urological Association, 90% of men will experience some form of BPH during their lifetime, with 30% of men over the age of 50 encountering moderate to severe symptoms.
