5 (Five) Signs Of An Enlarged Prostate Every Man Should Know

An enlarged prostate, medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that affects many men as they age especially after 40. While it’s not cancerous, it can cause uncomfortable symptoms and affect quality of life. Knowing the early signs can help you take control before things get worse. Here are five early warning signs every man should be aware of.

1. Frequent Urination, Especially at Night – If you’re waking up several times to go to the bathroom, your prostate might be pressing on your bladder, making it hard to hold urine.

2. Weak Urine Stream – Noticing a decrease in the force of your urine stream could be due to your enlarged prostate squeezing the urethra.

3. Difficulty Starting Urination – You may feel the urge to go but find it hard to actually get started. This hesitation is a classic early symptom.

4. Incomplete Emptying of the Bladder – That feeling like you haven’t fully emptied your bladder, even right after urinating, is another red flag.

5. Urgency and Leaks – Feeling sudden strong urges and sometimes leaking before reaching the toilet can indicate BPH.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing these signs, it’s important to talk to a doctor. Catching it early can make all the difference in managing it easily and living comfortably.
