Prostate Enlargement

G a b a' s

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, putting pressure on the urethra and blocking urine flow. A prostate gland larger than 30cc usually indicates BPH.

Here are some symptoms of an enlarged prostate:

Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night

Urgent need to urinate

Strain when beginning to urinate

Weak urine stream

Dribbling after urination

Interrupted urination

Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

Pain and burning while urinating in case of a urinary tract infection

Causes

Age: The chances of prostate gland enlargement increase to more than 50 percent between 50-60. Hormonal Imbalance: As men age, active testosterone levels decline, leaving relatively high estrogen levels, which may promote prostate cell growth. Another theory suggests that increased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may contribute to prostate cell growth. Family history: Men with a family history of BPH in their father or brother are at a higher risk. Obesity: Increases the risk of BPH. Medical conditions: Diabetes and heart diseases may increase BPH risk.

Diagnosis

Complications of BPH can include urine retention, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder stones, and bladder or kidney damage. Diagnosis is typically made based on symptoms and a digital rectal exam. An ultrasound of the prostate gland is the most common diagnostic test, followed by a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test. If PSA is above normal, further tests are needed to rule out other causes. BPH has three grades:
