What is B.P.H.(Benign
Prostatic Hyperplasia) ?
Hormonal changes that often beginat about age 40-45 years cause enlargement
of prostate in almost all men. In medical terms this condition is refered
to as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This enlargment is a non-cancerouse
growth, not life threatening, but may lead to problems with urinating. Discomfort
begins when this new prostatic tissue grows, squeezing the urethra like a
clamp.
Effects on the Bladder And Kidneys:
As the urethra narrows, bladder needs to push harder to urinate. This can
cause the bladder walls to thicken and stretch out of shape, becoming less
efficient. If urine stays in the bladder, infections can develop. Kidneys
may also fail if they can't drain properly into the bladder when it's already
full.
Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia(BPH):
- A slow, interrupted and weak urine flow.
- Urgent desire to urinate.
- Difficulty in starting the urine flow.
- Leaking or dribbling before or after urination.
- The need to urinate frequently especially at night.
