Enlarged Prostate Symptoms

In its early stages, enlarged prostate may be asymptomatic and only detected by a medical test. As the prostate grows larger, however, many symptoms become apparently. Many of these symptoms involve the urinary system which may be inhibited or blocked by a large prostate.

Common symptoms include:

  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Starting and stopping urination
  • Weak urine stream
  • Frequent need to urinate
  • Waking up to urinate multiple times a night
  • Inability to empty bladder
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Bladder stones
  • Kidney stones

No two men experience enlarged prostate the same way. Some may deal with many symptoms and others just a few.

Enlarged Prostate Causes

The prostate gland is found just beneath the bladder. When this gland becomes enlarged, it impedes the urinary system and leads to the symptoms listed above. It is not clear why this benign enlargement occurs, but several risk factors increase a man's likeliness of facing BPH.

Risk factors include:

  • Advanced age
  • Family history

Enlarged Prostate Treatment

There are many different enlarged prostate treatments available. Treatment typically begins with a prostate exam. These treatments vary depending on the size of the prostate and the individual health needs of the patient. For minor prostate enlargement, treatment may not be necessary.

Types of enlarged prostate (BPH) treatment include:

  • Medications, such as alpha blockers
  • Prostate resection surgery
  • Prostatectomy (prostate removal)
  • Laser prostate surgery
  • Prostate ablation
  • Prostatic stents

These treatment options vary from non-invasive to major surgery. For men with only minor prostate problems, medications may cause the prostate to return to normal size and eliminate symptoms.

In more severe cases, where an extremely large prostate is present, surgical methods may be necessary to reduce the size or remove portion of the prostate.
