Warning Signs of Prostate Problems
As men pass middle age they start to experience health problems that if left untreated can lead to serious complications including death. The longer the initial symptoms are left untreated the worse the problem becomes. Men often wait until their health condition has become extremely serious before seeking help.
The need to make frequent trips to the bathroom during the night is often one of the first indications of a decline in health of the prostate. Straining or pushing during urination can make the situation worse. Urination can cause pain or a burning feeling for some men.
Most men over 60 experience some or all of these symptoms but have no idea what causes them. Symptoms such as these may be signs of an enlarged prostate, one of the most common urological disorders affecting men over the age of 60. In fact, 60 percent of men older than 60 and up to 80 percent of men older than 80 have an enlarged prostate.
An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is not the end of the world. It is not a type of prostate cancer, nor does it cause prostate cancer. However, as many men know, it can cause significant discomfort, inconvenience and awkwardness. BPH symptoms differ depending on how severe the condition is. The most common symptoms include:
- Waking up at night to urinate
- A Frequent need to urinate (sometimes every two hours or less)
- Pain or burning sensation during urination
- Frequent, sudden or uncontrollable urge to urinate
- Pushing or straining to start urination
- Feeling like the bladder does not empty completely during urination
- Dribbling following urination
As a man ages, the chances of developing BPH increase. This is because of growth patterns associated with the prostate. After a man turns 40 the prostate tends to expand due factors involved with aging.
The prostate is a gland located just below the bladder whose main function is to produce fluid for semen. All men find out quickly about their prostate when they suffer a problem. As it expands, it can squeeze and place pressure on the urethra, like a clamp on a garden hose, thus constricting urinary flow. As pressure builds and the “clamp” tightens, the result can be some of the commonly perceived BPH symptoms.
Although there is no known cure for BPH, there are medications and procedures available to reduce the symptoms. These can include a wide range of prescription medications as well as surgical procedures that can quickly bring relief.
