Prostate gland is situated beneath your bladder and surrounds the urethra – the tube which helps excrete urine out of the bladder. Its main function is to produce semen - a milky colored fluid which helps the transport of sperms during ejaculation.



As the prostate gland grows it can cause two major problems – As it surrounds the urethra, it can compress it and partially or completely block the urine flow and it can contract the muscles around the urethra making it difficult to relax and pass urine. BPH may cause no pain at all, but it definitely makes urination a difficult process which can include dribbling, frequent urination especially at night, weak urine stream, urgency to urinate, difficulty to start urination despite of urgency all this can ultimately lead to urinary tract infection and hematuria – blood in urine.



Enlarged prostate treatment most commonly includes surgical procedure to remove a part or whole prostate gland. Other non invasive medications are also an alternative but they need some time to work.
