What does it mean when someone says enlarged prostrate?
Enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in older men. It occurs when the prostate gland, which is located just below the bladder, becomes enlarged. This can cause a number of symptoms, including:
* Difficulty urinating
* Weak or slow urine stream
* Frequent urination
* Dribbling urine
* Inability to completely empty the bladder
* Pain or burning during urination
* Blood in the urine
Enlarged prostate is not cancerous, but it can be a nuisance and can interfere with daily activities. Treatment options for enlarged prostate include medication, surgery, and lifestyle changes.
