The prostate is a small gland in the male reproductive system, also known as the "prostate gland." It is about the size and shape of a chestnut and is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, which can explain why urinary problems can occur when it is enlarged. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic enlargement, is common in men over 50. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in men over 50. Causes and Risk Factors A single cause of BPH is not yet fully understood, but it is believed that a combination of various factors plays a role. Age is the most important risk factor, as the prostate continues to grow over time. Changes in hormone levels, particularly testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, are also relevant. Genetic predisposition and inflammatory processes in the prostate may also increase the risk. Furthermore, lifestyle and diet, such as being overweight, lack of exercise, and an unhealthy diet, can influence the risk. Symptoms of an Enlarged Prostate The symptoms of BPH primarily affect urinary behavior, as the enlarged organ impairs the flow of urine from the bladder. Affected men may experience a weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, and interrupted urine flow. Other symptoms include frequent urination, especially at night, and a sudden urge to urinate immediately. Many men also feel that they cannot completely empty their bladder and experience post-void dribbling. Diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) To diagnose BPH, a specialist performs a digital rectal examination to assess the size and consistency of the prostate. Despite the unpleasant nature of this examination, it is very effective. Additional laboratory tests, such as urinalysis and PSA tests, may be performed to rule out other prostate conditions, such as cancer. ...
