WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF BPH?

Because the prostate surrounds the urethra, it compresses as it grows and can make it difficult to pass urine from the bladder. Thus, comfortable urine drainage will be disturbed and a feeling of congestion will occur, as well as disturbing symptoms such as frequent urination and burning. Frequent urination, which is one of the most common symptoms, is an important irritating complaint as it also occurs at night. Some other symptoms are the feeling of not being able to empty the bladder completely and the inability to delay urination when the need arises. BPH can cause difficulty in initiating urination, weak urine stream, post-void dripping, and intermittent urination. In very advanced cases, complete obstruction may occur and requires urgent intervention.
