Prostate gland is a part of the male reproductive system
& is about the size of a walnut weighing just an ounce. Located in front of
the bladder & in front of the rectum, prostate gland goes all the way
around a tube which is known as the urethra. Function of urethra is to carry
urine from bladder & out of the body through penis. Main function of the
prostate gland is to make fluid for the semen & which during ejaculation
mixes with the sperm to go through the urethra & out of the penis.
What
is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?
Known as BPH in short, benign prostatic hyperplasia is an
enlarged condition of the prostate gland. Prostate gland which goes through
growth phases which continue during most part of a man’s life. Prostate may
therefore get larger as people age. BPH most often occurs in men in the second
growth phase of the gland. Subsequently, prostate gland squeezes down on
urethra when enlarged & thereby causes the bladder wall to become thicker.
This can result in weakening of the bladder which loses the ability to empty
completely. Therefore, urinary retention is caused alongside narrowing of the
urethra so as to cause problems which are usually associated with BPH. However,
BPH is a noncancerous condition & is quite common as people age. But then
in some cases BPH & prostate cancer can occur at the same time.

until flow of urine decreases or completely stops & following which the
