3. Enlarged Prostate
An enlarged prostate describes conditions that cause the prostate gland, found just below the bladder at the top of the urethra, to become enlarged. This might sound like a cause for concern but actually, there are many perfectly innocuous causes of an enlarged prostate and the most likely cause is actually BPH – benign prostatic hyperplasia.
While this causes many symptoms such as those described above, it isn’t harmful. However, it might potentially result in the urethra becoming partially or even entirely blocked by the prostate.
If this should happen, then it may be necessary to seek medical attention and specifically to get surgery to remove or shrink the prostate.
