2. As men get older, prostate gland enlargement becomes a common accompaniment. And it may cause bothersome urinary symptoms — often the condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or benign enlargement of prostate (BEP). Untreated it often causes damage to the bladder & kidneys. But one should not forget that enlargement sometimes may be because of cancer. • Modern day medicines offer you variety of effective treatments for your problem.

3. MEDICATIONS. • LIFESTYLE CHANGES. • SURGERY • SYMPTOMS: Just an enlargement of gland doesn’t necessarily mean you will have worsening symptoms. Small prostate may cause very serious symptoms & on the other hand a large prostate may not give you much trouble at all. In some men symptoms may stabilize & may even improve over time.

4. CONSULT YOUR UROLOGIST WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS: • Weak stream. • Hesitancy i.e. difficulty in starting urination. • Sense of not able to empty the bladder completely. • Taking longer time to empty your bladder. • Straining while passing urine. • Frequent urination especially at night. • Urgent need to urinate, leaking before you reach toilet. • Passing blood in urine. • You may experience fever & burning sensation during urination (Urinary Tract Infection). • Bladder stone formation causing interrupted stream or burning sensation. • Sometimes kidneys get swollen up due to backpressure leading to kidney failure and which can be the only symptom. • At times you may not be able to pass urine at all, what we call as urinary retention.

5. YOU MAY NOT NEED TREATMENT IF YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE NOT TROUBLESOME BUT STILL YOU HAVE TO SEEK UROLOGIST’S OPINION SO THAT YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE NOT CAUSED BY ANOTHER GRAVE CONDITION CALLED “PROSTATE CANCER”.SOME FACTS ABOUT PROSTATE GLAND • Prostate gland is a walnut shaped gland that sits just below the bladder. Urethra i.e. the tube that transports urine from the bladder out of your penis, passes through the center of the prostate. When prostate enlarges, it constricts the tube from all around & causes obstruction to urine flow & subsequently all the symptoms mentioned above start appearing. It is not known why in old age prostate starts enlarging. As men grow older, changes in the balance of sex hormones may be the predisposing cause. However, there are certain risk factors: • (RISK FACTORS FOR PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT) • Age: Aging is a significant risk factor. It is rare before 40. About 50% of men in 60s & 80% in 90s have signs & symptoms of enlarged. • Family history: A blood relative having prostate problems means you are more likely to suffer from enlarged prostate.

7. (HOW UROLOGIST WILL EVALUATE YOU OR RUN TESTS & DIAGNOSIS?) After a detailed questioning about your symptoms, most important tests that doctor will carry out next is DIGITAL RECTAL EXAMINATION/ DRE. Here doctor checks your prostate by inserting a finger into your rectum. This way doctor assesses whether prostate is enlarged or how much it is enlarged & checks for signs of prostate cancer. After DRE, doctor will carry out a brief neurological examination. This may help identify other causes of urinary problem, other than enlarged prostate. After this, urologist will carry out certain tests that are listed below to confirm the diagnosis & to rule out other problems. ABDOMINAL/ TRANSRECTAL ULTRASOUND: This helps us to know about size of the prostate, how much urine is retained in the bladder after urination, if any stone has formed or whether the kidneys are bearing the brunt of prostate obstruction. Transrectal ultrasound is a procedure where a probe like a large cigar is inserted to your rectum to visualize the prostate from close proximity & thus gives more detailed picture of prostate than ultrasound done through This is especially helpful if prostate cancer is suspected. UROFLOWMETRY: Urine flow test measures the strength & amount of your urine flow. You urinate into a receptacle attached into a special machine. The result of this test over time helps determine if your condition is getting better or URINE ANALYSIS: Urine test rules out any associated infection.
