A Common Problem
Issues relating to an enlarged prostate can be very common amongst men, with it being said that around half of males aged 50 or over may be affected and an even more shockingly, around 90% of males over 80. An enlarged prostate is an issue that occurs for many men as they age, so if you’re beginning to find yourself needing to urinate more frequently or waking up in the night to visit the toilet, it may be time to start caring for the health of your prostate.
What is an enlarged prostate?
The prostate is a small gland found near the opening of urethra, at the base of the bladder. It’s a key gland of the male reproductive system and its main function is for the production of a milky fluid that adds alkalinity to semen. Most men can have a healthy prostate, but in some cases the prostate gland can begin to enlarge. This causes pressure on the bladder which then squeezes the urethra, the tube that urine is passed through. This is why urination problems are so common for those suffering from an enlarged prostate.
Signs Of An Enlarged Prostate
An enlarged prostate is more common in older men, most likely due to natural hormonal changes. Statistics say that around 4 out of 10 men over 50 display certain symptoms related to an enlarged prostate, with 3 out of 4 experiencing symptoms by their 70s. There are some signs to look out for in regards to the prostate, that are generally associated with the bladder and urination. These can include:
- Difficulty starting urination
- Increased urgency
- Frequent urination
- Weak flow
- Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
- Urinary incontinence
- Straining to urinate
- A stream that starts and stops
- Waking up in the night to urinate
If you notice or are experiencing any of these signs, we suggest seeing a doctor for more information and diagnosis.
