What is an enlarged prostate?

Answer 1

An enlarged prostate is a condition in which your prostate is increased in size. This is common when you reach your 50s. It is also called the non-cancer growth of prostate gland.

Researches have noticed that 50 % of males experience the symptoms of benign enlarged prostate when they reach their 60s.

Answer:The prostate gland has two periods of major growth. The first is at adolescence and the second is around the age of 30 when the prostate starts growing again. By the time a man reaches the age of 40 this growth may increase the size of the prostate gland so much that it starts pushing against the urethra. An aging prostate is usually associated with urinary discomforts. Doctors do not know why this happens, but attribute it to hormonal changes.

Answer 2

It is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. It is referred to as BPH. It may go away on it's own, or if it is causing discomfort or symptoms such as reduced urine flow, it can be treated with drugs from your doctor. Having BPH does not mean that you will get prostate cancer in the future.

Answer 3

• It is a non-cancerous condition in which the narrowing of the urethra makes the elimination of urine more difficult.

• Not only is urination difficult but one feels the need to urinate very frequently. It is a very uncomfortable and painful experience. This makes prostate care even more important. In my opinion, natural supplements can help some people.

• Dietary and lifestyle changes are also necessary. For more information in response to your actual question, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links.
