What to be aware of with Prostate Health
As men pass middle age they start to experience health problems that if left untreated can lead to serious complications including death. Leaving the initial symptoms untreated can make the problem much worse. 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.
While the majority of men over age 60 experience these symptoms, most are not aware of 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 form of prostate cancer, nor does it lead to prostate cancer. However, as many men would be aware, it can cause considerable discomfort, inconvenience and awkwardness. BPH symptoms can vary 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 gets older, the chance of developing BPH increases. This comes about because of 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. Expansion in the size of the prostate can act like a clamp on a garden hose to restrict the flow of urine in the urethra. 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.
