What is benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting men, especially as they age, resulting in an enlarged prostate gland. Although this condition is noncancerous, it can cause urination problems and affect quality of life.
Causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia
There are no definitive causes, but there are factors that increase the likelihood of infection, such as:
Aging, excess testosterone, obesity, smoking, saturated fat intake, and heart disease or diabetes.
Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Symptoms include:
Weak urine flow, frequent urination at night, feeling like your bladder is not empty, urinary retention, pain during urination or ejaculation, and a change in the smell or color of urine.
Prevention methods
Although complete prevention is difficult, a healthy lifestyle may reduce the risk:
Exercise, avoid alcohol and smoking, reduce caffeine, drink enough water, stay warm, and have regular PSA tests.
