Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition where the prostate gland enlarges, often causing urinary symptoms in men as they age. You can manage this condition effectively by accessing professional advice and buying BPH treatments directly through the Mail My Meds online pharmacy platform.
More Information
"Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a non-cancerous swelling of the prostate that places pressure on the urethra, leading to common symptoms like a weak flow, frequent nocturia, or difficulty starting to pee. While the exact causes are linked to hormonal changes during ageing, a formal diagnosis is essential to rule out other bladder issues, and you can conveniently start a clinical consultation for management options through our secure Mail My Meds service today."- Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, often referred to as an enlarged prostate, is a physical growth of the prostate gland that is not related to cancer. This enlargement is a natural part of the ageing process for many men, but because the prostate surrounds the tube that carries urine, its growth can gradually squeeze the urinary tract and affect how you go to the toilet.
The primary cause of BPH is thought to be the changing balance of hormones, such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), as men get older. While some men may experience severe disruption to their daily life, others may only notice mild changes, as symptoms vary significantly from person to person based on the size of the gland and the sensitivity of the bladder.
Common Symptoms of BPH
- A weak or interrupted urinary flow.
- Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely.
- An urgent need to urinate or frequent trips during the night.
- Straining or taking a long time to start urinating.
Management usually involves lifestyle adjustments, prescription medication, or in some cases, surgical intervention. You should seek medical advice immediately if you find you cannot pass urine at all or if you notice blood in your urine.
