The prostate is a male reproductive gland that produces the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. It surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes out of the body.

The prostate gland, which is normally about the size and shape of a walnut, wraps around the urethra between the pubic bone and the rectum, below the bladder. In the early stage of prostate enlargement, the bladder muscle becomes thicker and forces urine through the narrowed urethra by contracting more powerfully. As a result, the bladder muscle may become more sensitive, causing a need to urinate more often and more suddenly.

Some nights, not all the nights, I have to get up to urinate. I have difficulty urinating. I would like to avoid modern medicines, would prefer any natural cure. My doctor mentioned that I have small bladder and enlarged prostate. My PSA test last time was 3.1.

BPH, Prostatitis, Prostate Cancer, Enlarged Prostate, they’re all terms that get bandied about by men over 50 and an unlucky bunch below 50 as well.

Before you can be offered help about an issue, namely you take 15 minutes just to go to the toilet, you should really understand what is the cause of your prostate problem.

Half of all men between 50 and 60 years old will have developed an enlarged prostate. By the age of 80, ninety percent of men have had symptoms of BPH.

BPH is “benign prostatic hyperplasia”. This is the medical term for an enlarged prostate. It is so common in men that it is more likely than not they will have prostate health issues at some point in their lives.

An enlarged prostate causes uncomfortable and even painful symptoms such as a weak stream, difficulty starting to urinate, frequent urination and the inability to empty the bladder completely.
As the prostate continues to grow, symptoms can worsen. This can interfere with all routine activities, even sleep. When this occurs, quality of life goes down and physical activity becomes nearly impossible. If left untreated, an enlarging prostate can cause:

In older men, the inner part of the prostate around the urethra may continue to grow, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) – also referred to as an enlarged prostate or swollen prostate. Perhaps a fourth of men have some degree of hyperplasia by the time they reach their fifties. By the eighth decade, over 90% of males will have prostatic hyperplasia (according to the American Urological Association).

However, in only a small number of cases (about 10%) will this hyperplasia be symptomatic and severe enough to require any surgical or medical therapy. The mechanism for hyperplasia may be related to an accumulation of dihydrotestosterone in the prostate, which then binds to nuclear hormone receptors which then trigger the growth. The normal prostate weighs 20 to 30 gm, but most prostates with nodular hyperplasia can weigh as much as 50 to 100 gm. And nodular hyperplasia is NOT a precursor to cancer. A mildly increased PSA (4 to 10 ng/mL) in a patient with a very large prostate can be due to either nodular hyperplasia, or to prostatitis, rather than cancer.
