___________________________________________________________

Enlarged prostate, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects half of all men over the age of 50. By the time a man reaches his 70's or 80's, 80% will be affected by the condition.

Enlarged Prostate is not life threatening, nor is it cancer, however, if left untreated it can lead to other health problems such as urinary retention, urinary infection or kidney damage.

Enlarged Prostate Symptoms • Frequent urination, especially at night • Sudden need to urinate • Need to strain or push to urinate • Pain or burning • Feeling that your bladder never completely empties • Dribbling or leaking • Weak urine stream

Loss of Personal Freedom

Many men report changes to lifestyle such as avoiding travel, using bathroom stalls instead of urinals or not wearing light colored pants. Frequent trips to the bathroom, especially at night, can disrupt sleep.

It is important to understand your medical condition, be aware of your treatment options and discuss with your physician the appropriate treatment solution.
