How does enlargement of the prostate gland restrict the normal flow of urine from the bladder?
The male ureter travels down through the center of the prostate gland. If the prostate gland expands (called "benign prostatic hypertrophy", or "BPH"), it expands in all directions, as Einstein taught us. Not only does it get bigger growing outwards, it gets smaller growing inwards. This constricts the ureter, slowing the flow of urine, sometimes to a bare dribble.
