Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem that
occurs as a man ages which can negatively affect his quality of life.
Many symptoms of BPH are associated with urination because the
enlarging prostate presses against the urethra restricting urine flow.
Some common symptoms are:
- Difficulty starting to urinate
- Sudden, recurrent urge to urinate
- Dripping and leaking after urination
- Interrupted, slow or weak urine stream
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Painful, pushing or straining to urinate
- Inability to empty the bladder completely
