Benign prostatic hyperplasia is characterized by?

Answer 1

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is an enlarged prostate gland and it leads to a weaker flow of urine.

Consuming Alcoholic Beverages (beer, liquor and wine) in moderation is associated with a lower risk of developing the condition.

A meta-analysis of 19 published studies, including over 120,000 men, was conducted.

The investigators found that drinking two or more standard drinks of alcohol was associated with a 35% reduction in decreased likelihood of benign prostate enlargement.

A standard drink is:

• A 12-ounce can or bottle of regular beer

• A 5-ounce glass of dinner wine

• A shot (one and one-half ounces) of 80 proof liquor or spirits such as vodka, tequila, or rum either straight or in a mixed drink.

Answer 2

BPH, also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or enlarged prostate, is characterized by the following symptoms:

• diminished urine stream
• dribbling
• incontinence
• urinary retention
• pain due to enlarged prostate

Answer 3

Typically by a slow flow of urine. Also by the urge to pee, but only a couple of drops come out. The sensation that you need to pee but your bladder is actually empty. There may be other symptoms as well such as reduced sexual performance.

Answer 4

BPH produces a swelling of the prostate gland that obstructs the urethra. This causes painful urination, reduced urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping the flow, dribbling after urination, and more frequent nighttime urination.

Answer 5

It is an enlarged prostate which tends to cause slow flow of urine, the feeling that the bladder is full even when it is empty. It may or may not cause pain or discomfort during sex and urinating; that all depends on the person in question.

Answer 6

BPH is characterized by enlarged prostate gland, difficulty urinating or pain while urinating.
