What to be aware of with Prostate Health
Untreated Health problems can lead to serious complications if men delay seeking treatment. The longer the initial symptoms are left untreated the worse the problem becomes. Men have a bad habit of putting things off until they become so serious they can no longer be ignored.
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. For most men, this inconvenience is often made worse by the need to push or strain while urinating. Some even encounter pain or burning while urinating.
Most men over 60 experience some or all of these symptoms but have no idea 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 type of prostate cancer, nor does it cause 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 is caused by growth patterns associated with the prostate. After a man turns 40 the prostate tends to expand due factors involved with aging.
The prostate is a gland which is located just below the bladder. The main function of the prostate is to produce fluid for semen. All men find out quickly about their prostate when they suffer a problem. 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.
