DANGERS OF ENLARGED PROSTATE GLAND…
In men, urine flows from the bladder through the urethra.
enlargement of the prostate blocks the flow of urine through the urethra.
The prostate cells gradually multiply, creating an enlargement that puts pressure on the urethra the “chute” through which urine and semen exit the body.
As the urethra narrows, the bladder has to contract more forcefully to push urine through the body.
Over time, the bladder muscle may gradually become stronger, thicker, and overly sensitive; it begins to contract even when it contains small amounts of urine, causing a need to urinate frequently. Eventually, the bladder muscle cannot overcome the effect of the narrowed urethra so urine remains in the bladder and it is not completely emptied.
