what is benign prostate enlargement ?
Question:
Answers:
Well there are three main reasons for Prostate Enlargement; Prostate Cancer, Prostititis, and Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH.)
BPH is the enlargement of the prostate gland, the reason for the enlargement is still unknown.
Most Common BPH Symptoms are:
* Blood in the urine (i.e., hematuria), caused by straining to void
*Dribbling after voiding
*Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely after urination
*Frequent urination, particularly at night (i.e., nocturia)
*Hesitant, interrupted, or weak urine stream caused by decreased force
*Leakage of urine (i.e., overflow incontinence)
*Pushing or straining to begin urination
*Recurrent, sudden, urgent need to urinate
*localized Pain
There are many different treatment options depending on the severity. Some are as simple as watching and monitoring the symptoms, Medications, and then there are some surgical procedures.
If you are having trouble I would suggest consulting a Urologist. BPH commonly affects men 55 years of age or older, however there have been an increased number of cases in younger men.

You don't have cancer but your prostate is enlarged.
"benign" -- not harmful
"prostate" -- a gland in males around the urinary tract where some of the components of semen are produced
"enlargement" -- getting bigger
Your prostate got bigger but they don't think it's serious.
As the term implies ,the gland gets bigger to the point it may squeeze the urethra and cause voiding problems . The main thing is to get a PSA test annually and follow the figures . A slow rise may be due to the increased size of the gland but a sudden sharp rise may mean cancer is beginning
