Are you at risk of an enlarged prostate? Most men in their forties begin to experience ailments related to an enlarged prostate gland. By answering the following questions you will check whether your urination problems require an urgent visit to the urologist.
Enlarged prostate or prostate adenoma, i.e. benign prostatic hyperplasia, by doctors called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is a problem for many men.
Under the influence of hormonal changes around the age of 45, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. Prostate enlargement is a slow process. Over the years, the expanding prostate grows more and more tightly around the urethra, and trouble urinating begins. As the condition worsens, it becomes more and more difficult to start urinating, and at the end of the voiding, the urine stream stops. The man feels that despite the effort his bladder has not completely emptied.
Have you noticed any disturbing symptoms related to urination? Don't hesitate! Be sure to answer the questions and you will find out if you should start worrying about the condition of your prostate.
