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. Most men tend to delay seeing a doctor until it is too late for effective treatment of their condition.
One of the most common problems, and the first indication of future problems is the need to make more frequent trips to the bathroom-especially in the middle of the night. Straining or pushing during urination can make the situation worse. Some even encounter pain or burning while urinating.
While the majority of men over age 60 experience these symptoms, most are not aware of what causes them. These symptoms are typically a result of an enlarged prostate which is one of the most common issues affecting older men. 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 life threatening. It is not a form of prostate cancer, nor does it lead to prostate cancer. However, as many men know, it can cause significant discomfort, inconvenience and awkwardness. BPH symptoms differ depending on the severity of the condition. 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 due to growth patterns associated with the prostate. After a male reaches the age of 40, a second round of prostate growth often occurs as a natural part of the aging process.
The prostate is a gland located just below the bladder whose main function is to produce fluid for semen. Problems with the prostate draw mens attention to it. 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 up and the “clamp” tightens, the result can be some of the more commonly noticed BPH symptoms.
Although there is no known cure for BPH, there are medications and procedures available to reduce the symptoms. These range from prescription oral medications and surgical procedures to minimally invasive, office-based procedures that can provide rapid symptom relief.
