The prostate gland is an essential part of the male reproductive system. Its main function is to secrete fluid to make semen.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—also called prostate gland enlargement—is a common condition in men. Enlarged prostate prevents and blocks urine from leaving the bladder, leading to uncomfortable urinary issues.

Nocturia is the most bothersome symptom of an enlarged prostate.

The most common and bothersome symptom is frequent urination, especially at night! This leads to poor sleep quality, and men feel dreadful and sleepy during the day.

These symptoms tend to appear over time and gradually worsen over the years.

Other common symptoms of an enlarged prostate include 

• Frequent urination (every 1-2 hours)
• Incomplete voiding
• Intermittent (having to stop and start several times when passing urine)
• Dribbling at the end of urination
• Couldn’t hold the urge to pass urine
• Weak urine flow
• Have to push or strain to pass urine

Less common symptoms include

• Urinary tract infection
• Inability to urinate.
• Blood in the urine

If left untreated, an enlarged prostate can lead to several complications including:

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs). If men are unable to fully empty the bladder, it increases the risk of infection in their urinary tract.
• Bladder stones. When urine is not emptied in the bladder, the minerals crystallize and clump together, leading to the formation of bladder stones. Bladder stones cause blood in the urine and obstruction of urine flow.
• Bladder damage. A bladder that hasn’t ‘emptied can stretch and weaken over time.
• Kidney damage. Urine retained in the bladder can cause pressure that harms the kidneys or allow bladder infections to spread to the kidneys.
