The prostate is the common site of disorders in the male genitourinary system. This gland is responsible for the manufacture and stores a component of semen that is
released in the urethra during sexual climax. With age, most men experience prostate enlargement , a progressive condition known as BPH. BPH or enlarged prostate is a serious medical condition that may result in a chain reaction
that starts with uncontrollable growth of the prostate.. BPH men often have erectile dysfunction and coronary heart disease. While BPH isn't cancer, it can cause problems including urinary tract infections and kidney dysfunctions.
The major symptoms of enlargement of the prostate is the need to pass urine frequently, with frequency increasing as time passes. A man may find himself rising several times during the night to urinate. There can also be pain, burning and difficulty starting and stopping urination. The exact cause of BPH is not known but men with BPH experience numerous changes that have been directly or indirectly associated with changes in the endocrine, metabolic, reproductive and urologic system.
Proscar is one among the drugs that treat moderate prostate enlargement as it promotes an increase of urine flow but it also causes impotence and reduced libido in many cases. It can be treated also surgically and it's called TURP (trans urethral resection of the prostate).
