The Prostate (not ProstRate no second R) is rather like a doughnut and the base of the penis passes through the center on its way out of the body. The urethra passes through the penis so as the Prostate swells it constricts around the penis, cutting off or restricting the flow of urine. If the swelling is great enough it may also slightly put pressure on the bladder, limiting its ability to hold urine.

How does prostate enlargement interfere with urination?

As the prostate gland becomes enlarged, it presses against the bladder and constricts the urethra, which is the tube that runs from the bladder through the prostate and out through the penis to remove urine from the body. As the bladder and urethra are constricted, it interferes with the easy flow of urine from the body. Not only does protate enlargement constrict the urethra, it often leads to infection of the prostate and in some serious cases operation is necessary.

When a prostate becomes enlarged, it can effect the production of the fluid. In most cases of BPH, as the prostate becomes enlarged, it impacts your ability to urinate, due to putting pressure on the bladder.
