Signs Of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Complications

If left untreated, prostate and bladder issues can create immense complications for many men. For one, the bladder can become irritated as urine will become backed up rather than released due to BPH, and the symptoms associated with BPH can begin to affect a patient’s daily life. For instance, for some men, it might become incredibly difficult to control their bladder, or they might wet the bed at night or not be able to reach the bathroom in time when they urgently need to. Another complication is a patient can develop a urinary tract infection or bladder stones as well. Some signs of BPH are not as common, but can signal that the patient has a more complicated or advanced stage of BPH than believed, such as if they experience burning or pain when they urinate, blood in their urine or they cannot urinate at all because the urethra is blocked, requiring immediate medical attention.
