Risk factors of Enlarged prostrate:

There are many risk factors for BPH. But some people are at a higher risk like

Men over the age of 50 as the risk for BPH rises with age
Men whose fathers had BPH
Overweight or obese people have higher risk

Some men with erectile dysfunction

BPH signs & symptoms

Urinary frequency:

The first sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is urinary frequency, which is a need to urinate frequently, specially during the night time.

This occurs because the enlarged prostate gland puts pressure on the urethra. Which makes it more difficult for urine to flow out of the bladder.

As a result, the bladder contracts more frequently and men with BPH may feel a need to urinate frequently, even when the bladder is not completely full.

Urgency:

The next common sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is urgency, which is a strong and sudden urge to urinate, even when the bladder is not full.

This occurs because the enlarged prostate gland puts pressure on the urethra, making it more difficult for urine to flow out of the bladder. Which leads to a sense of urgency.

Men with BPH may feel a need to urinate immediately, and may be unable to delay urination for long periods of time.

weak urine stream:

The flow of urine may be weak or slow, especially in the early stages of urination.
The weak urine stream can make it difficult to empty the bladder completely, leading to urinary retention.

A weak urine stream can be frustrating and can lead to a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. It can also increase the risk of urinary tract infections and bladder stones, as well as incontinence or leakage of urine.

Interrupted urine flow:

Interrupted urine flow is also an important sign of enlarged prostate. Urine flow may start and stop several times during urination. It indicates that your urethra is partially blocked.

This problem can also caused by infection or inflammation of the prostrate, nervous system disorder, pelvic muscle problem and sometimes due to side-effects of surgery.

Inability to empty the bladder:

Some men with BPH may not be able to completely empty their bladder, which can lead to urinary retention.

Dribbling of urine:

Urine may leak out after urination, causing dribbling. This occurs because the enlarged prostate gland puts pressure on the urethra, making it more difficult for urine to flow out of the bladder.

As a result, some men with BPH may experience dribbling after they have finished urinating. It feels like there is still urine left in the urethra.

Urinary tract infections:

BPH can increase the risk of urinary tract infections due to the accumulation of urine in the bladder.

Painful urination:

Sometimes Men with BPH may experience pain or or burning sensation while urinating.
Blood in urine:

The presence of blood in urine, also known as hematuria, is a possible sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH can cause the prostate gland to put pressure on the urethra, which can cause irritation and inflammation in the urinary tract.

This can lead to the presence of blood in the urine, which can range from light pink to deep red in color.

Erectile dysfunction:

Last but not the least. BPH can also cause sexual problems, including erectile dysfunction.

My husband had this problem too until he ran out of his favorite hot sauce. When he stopped putting hot sauce on all his food, his symptoms disappeared. Apparently spices can cause inflammation!

I'm 18 years old and has been having difficulty peeing for the past 3 years. A doctor told me its caused by an enlarged prostate so tomorrow Ill be examined in a bigger facility. Hopefully everything is fine and doesnt hurt

[santhoshkumarkumbla]

Each and every point very nicely explained, wonderful, thank you sir for your presentation

[IRDeezlSmoke]

Very well presented. Thank you. Maybe sometime you can include some of the popular medications either OTC or prescribed that treat BPH.

squat to empty the bladder and intestines instead of sitting or standing... solves lots of other health problems

I've been through 4 urologists and 1 infectious disease doctor because of my chronic UTI s. My faith urologist said my bladder needs to fully empty. He put me on flo max and things are better so far. My goal has been to treat my UTI permanently. But I guess there's no money in curing me. Between me and my final urologist, I will finally get cured. I'm going to opt for a procedure such as rezum or aquablation. This should allow my bladder to completely empty, thus preventing future UTI.

[kailashnath]

Very well explained.
It will be welcome if other common diseases too are explained in this manner through small videos.

[RaviKumar-rnuc]

Excellent knowledge about BPH. Thank you so much for giving your wonderful medical knowledge. 🙏🙏

[Salena]

This sounds so painful, but thanks for sharing this as now I understand .the images really help too. I can share this with my son so he will be prepared if he ever has any problems in the future.

My prostate size was 50 and I was taking thyroid medicine levothyroxin. I stopped taking levothyroxin for 6 months. After 6 months my prostate was 32 measured with ultrasound probe.

Sitting in reverse direction on the toilet seat (facing the water tank) removes pressure and eases the urinary flow.

[ajitp]

It is a nice animation for students, I think doctors themselves dont know how to treat this, it may be lack of knowledge or not having substantial practice, prostate issue is inbuilt in human male body, if one is planning to have child then finish the process before 35 years of one's age, after that male reproductive organ is prone to prostate issue, after this age men tends to take performing enhancing pills, it damages male organ and full fledge prostate issues can be seen.

[sandeeptyagi]

[saadqamar]

Laudable Work 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
I would suggest to kindly summarize the whole video at the end of it. Like in videos like these you can just put a slide of all the side effects mentioned so its the easy to retain for the viewer also.

Increased urine frequency, if large amounts are voided per urination, can be a symptom of either diabetes mellitus (the type which involves abnormally high blood sugar) or diabetes insipidus (which is caused by either a lack of ADH or a lack of response to ADH by your kidneys). The former is Central Diabetes Insipidus, and the latter is the rarer Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus.

Both diseases do tend to have symptoms other than frequent urination; both disorders have the following symptom in common: unusual thirst (polydipsia). Diabetes mellitus has the following specific symptoms: unusual hunger (polyphagia), extreme tiredness, and unintentional weight loss.

[stephenorona]

Could BPH be caused by the liver making extra sugar in the blood, thus causing insulin to inflame the prostate or a sign of prediabetes coming on ?

[mrofnocnon]

I can't believe after all the advancements in the medical field there is still not a way to prevent this! Get on it!

[johnmondol]

Thanks sir, you have nicely explained about bph. I will also go for the urine test for the same.

I'm 64 and keep everything down there tight by doing crunches everyday, not 6pak abs but just good and tight, and I piss fine. If you're flabby you will have urinary issues
