What are the symptoms of prostate enlargement?

Answer 1

Signs and symptoms vary from person to person with only about half of men with prostate enlargement experiencing any difficulties. Signs and symptoms can include, difficulty with starting to urinate, difficulty maintaining a constant flow of urine, dribbling at the end of urination, feeling you need to urinate frequently, increasing need to urinate during the night night, urgency to urinate, not being able to empty your bladder completely, urinary tract infections, blood in your urine.

Answer 2

The symptoms of prostate enlargement vary from man to man and obviously vary with relation to the severity of the enlargement. The most common symptoms are an increase in the number of urination episodes overnight while sleeping, difficulty in starting the flow of urine and a sense of inability to empty the bladder completely after voiding. Other symptoms include decreased strength of flow of urine, starting and stopping of flow during voiding, sexual dysfunction, lower abdominal and pelvic discomfort as well as others.

Answer 3

One of the problems you get in an increased risk of prostate infection. This manifests itself as what looks like gonorhea sometimes. Tests on the discharge fluid will show the bacteria to be non-specific. Prostate tests are sometimes done after this as non-specific infections of the prostate are difficult to remove. It takes over a month of cipro. It's how many men discover they have large prostates. They go to the doctor.. If the patient is monogamous and the doctor has no reason to think the patient is lying to him when he asks, he'll do a prostate exam (rubber glove, KY, long finger).

Weak urination or incomplete emptying of your bladder is a common sign of a large prostate.

Answer 4

the flow of urine weakens, ie it akes longer to empty your bladder, and if you're outside you'll pee less far

if it worsens then you'l find you'll need to go to the bathroom increasingly often. Until such time as you start having to get up in the middle of the night to pee, first just once and then maybe more than once. At which stage surgery is strongly recommended before the thing takes too much of a toll on your life.

also, while most prostate tumours are not deadly, some are, so you want to be very careful.

and doctors are very careful, too: they used to test the prostate for size (disagreeable test!) but nowadays a simple blood test allows to detect whether something has started to go wrong, long before it becomes visible. This allows for treatment / surgery very early on, which results in a much quicker recovery.

Answer 5

Urinary symptoms of hesitancy, sensation of incomplete voiding and frequently passing small amounts of urine are all suggestive of BPH in middle-aged and elderly men. Due to the incomplete voiding, there is stasis of bacteria in the bladder residue and an increased risk of urinary tract infections.
A small proportion presents with urinary retention, in which inadequate amounts of urine are passed and the bladder distends greatly. Untreated, this leads to a decrease in renal function and hydronephrosis (obstructive uropathy). Surgery (Transurethral resection of the prostate-TURP) is the only cure.
