The prostate gland is located at the neck of the bladder and surrounds the top of the urethra in males. This enlargement obstructs the flow of urine in varying degrees. Symptoms are progressive and changes in hormonal balance may be the cause. Urgency and frequent urination, especially at night, associated with decrease in force of urinary stream are symptoms of this disease.
Difficulty initiating stream is another symptom.
These symptoms are generally a result of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Urine remaining in the bladder after voiding can cause infection, formation of stones, and damage to the rest of the urinary system if left untreated. Burning on urination, fever, and chills are all signs of infection and require treatment by a physician. Consult your physician for diagnosis, treatment and coordination of this disease. Once a diagnosis of BPH is made, the natural remedies of alternative therapies may be a very beneficial complement to your physician 's treatment plan.
