Prostate BPH - what is it ?


 
Health
It is normal for the prostate glands of males to grow in size significantly through their teenage years. This slows down when they get to 25 and pushes through when they get to 50. By the time they are around 80 years old, their prostate glands are very much enlarged. This enlargement of the prostate can happen before that age and it may be frightening since it could be cancerous. However there in another situation, the gland could enlarge, and the person should not be worried about cancer – this state is called prostate BPH or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

An enlarged prostate or BPH is not prostate cancer. It is a frequent condition specially among older men, age 50 years and above. Among those with prostate BPH, only 10 percent would need to be medically or surgically treated. Prostate BPH is also called Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy.

The prostate gland does not actually stop growing. This does not create any problem to any man until after he reaches his twilight years. The symptoms are barely felt by men below 40 , but the men who are over the age of 60 may experience the symptoms of prostate BPH.

When the prostate becomes bigger and bigger, the tendency of the adjacent tissues is to hinder its further growth. This results to the restraint on the urethra, since the prostate gland is forced upon it. The man’s bladder will get irritated and will begin to contract even if there is just minimal quantity of urine in there. In time , the bladder will fail to function as it should be causing urine to remain in the bladder.

Prostate BPH shows the following symptoms that you have to watch out for:

Problems with urination – weak stream of urine, leaking, frequent urination at night, straining feeling, sudden urges to urinate Weak bladder Kidney failure Backflow of urine that results to infection on the bladder or kidney

The signs vary and the size of the prostate does not always say how severe the state is. There are men with prostate BPH that exhibit no obstruction at all and thus, show no symptoms. There are those who have less enlarged glands however they have more harsh symptoms because of bigger obstructions.

When you experience any troubles urinating, you have to inform your doctor immediately. Eighty percent of the cases are a hint of prostate BPH, but all the others can be more grave and will need instant treatment.

Those that have untreated prostate BPH can develop a lot more serious problems like: Urinary Tract Infection due to urine retention and straining of the bladder Bladder damage Kidney damage Bladder stones Incontinence

There are 3 ways to treat prostate BPH – watchful waiting, medicine therapy, or surgery. Watchful waiting involves yearly checkups to monitor the gland and its growth. This way restricts alcoholic drinks and caffeine. Patients are asked to empty their bladders whenever urinating. If you need to urinate, you shouldn’t keep it waiting. Urinate at once and often.

As for the medicine remedy , only your regular doctor can prescribed the medications that may assist you with the symptoms . Be wary of those over the counter medicines that can only do things worse.

Operation is the last alternative but this is one of the common methods to treat prostate BPH in the United States. Surgery is best for severe cases. The author is the owner of Prostate BPH article .
