  Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a health issue that becomes more common with age. It’s also called an enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate can cause symptoms that may bother you, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It also can cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. […] Common symptoms of BPH include: Frequent or urgent need to pee, also called urination. Peeing more often at night. Trouble starting to pee. Weak urine stream, or a stream that stops and starts. Dribbling at the end of urination. Not being able to fully empty the bladder. […] The symptoms of BPH tend to slowly get worse. But sometimes they stay the same or even improve over time. The size of the prostate doesn’t always determine how serious the symptoms are. Some people with slightly enlarged prostates can have major symptoms. Others who have very enlarged prostates can have minor problems. And some people with enlarged prostates don’t have any symptoms at all.

[…] About 50% of men between the ages of 51 and 60 have BPH, and that number jumps to 70% among men aged 60 to 69 and around 80% of men over 70 years of age. While some men who have BPH do not experience any bothersome symptoms, for many it causes problems with urination including increased urinary frequency, urgency, and an inability to completely empty the bladder. […] Benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause a number of lower urinary tract symptoms, including the following: Urinary hesitancy, or difficulty starting urination, weak urinary stream, need to strain muscles to begin the flow of urine, urinary stream that starts and stops one or more times, inability to completely empty bladder of urine, increased frequency of urination, increased urge to urinate, increased frequency of urination at night, which often disrupts sleep (called nocturia), urge incontinence, or the involuntary loss of urine, flow of urine slows to a dribble toward end of urination. […] In some cases, BPH can lead to damage to the kidney, bladder stones, hematuria (blood in the urine), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and acute urinary retention, a condition characterized by the inability to urinate and accompanied by pain and swelling in the lower abdomen.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia/symptoms-causes/syc-20370087

  Usually, the prostate gland is about the size and shape of a walnut or golf ball. When enlarged, the prostate may block the flow of urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The prostate gland is located beneath the bladder. The tube that moves urine from the bladder out of the penis is called the urethra. This tube passes through the center of the prostate. When the prostate gets bigger, it starts to block urine flow. […] The prostate is a gland that typically keeps growing throughout life. This growth often enlarges the prostate enough to cause symptoms or to block urine flow. […] Complications of an enlarged prostate can include: Not being able to pee. This also is called urinary retention. You might need to have a tube called a catheter placed into your bladder to drain the urine. Some people with an enlarged prostate need surgery to get relief. Urinary tract infections (UTIs). Not being able to fully empty the bladder can raise the risk of infection in the urinary tract. If you often get UTIs, you might need surgery to remove part of the prostate. Bladder stones. These are most often caused by being unable to fully empty the bladder. Bladder stones can cause illness, bladder irritation, blood in the urine and blocked urine flow. Bladder damage. A bladder that doesn’t empty fully can stretch and weaken over time. As a result, the muscular wall of the bladder no longer squeezes properly to force urine out. And this makes it harder to fully empty the bladder. Kidney damage. Pressure in the bladder from not being able to pee can damage the kidneys or let bladder infections reach the kidneys. […] Treatment for BPH lowers the risk of these complications. But urinary retention and kidney damage can be serious health threats.

  An enlarged prostate may cause problems urinating and other symptoms. […] As your prostate grows, it may squeeze the urethra, which may also affect the bladder.

  Also, the need to urinate may become more urgent. The volume and force of the urinary flow may diminish noticeably, and urine may dribble at the end of urination. […] The lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can also be caused by other disorders, including infection, prostate cancer, and overactive bladder. […] Obstruction of urine flow with retention of some urine in the bladder may increase the pressure in the bladder and limit the flow of urine from the kidneys, putting increased stress on the kidneys. […] If obstruction is prolonged, the bladder may overstretch, causing overflow incontinence. […] Urine flow out of the bladder can be blocked (urinary retention) completely, making urination impossible and usually leading to a full feeling and severe pain in the lower abdomen. […] In benign prostatic hyperplasia, the prostate gland enlarges. Normally the size of a walnut, the prostate gland may become as large as a tennis ball. […] The enlarging prostate gland squeezes the urethra, which carries urine out of the body. As a result, urine may flow through more slowly.

  An enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is an increase in the size of the prostate. While most men have prostate growth throughout their life, not all men get bothersome symptoms. As the prostate grows it presses on the outside of the urethra and can slow down or even stop the flow of urine. BPH is common in men in their 50s, with about 1 in 3 men above 50 years of age having urinary symptoms. […] The severity of symptoms in people with BPH varies, but tends to worsen over time. Common symptoms include: urgent or frequent need to urinate, nocturia (increased frequency to urinate at night), difficulty starting urination, inability to completely empty the bladder, weak urine stream or a urine stream that stops and starts, straining while urinating, dribbling at the end of urination.

  BPH affects the part of the prostate that is adjacent to the urethra (the outlet pipe of the bladder), and as a result it is very common for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) to develop. […] These symptoms, most commonly, are due to benign (not cancerous) enlargement of the prostate gland. In simple terms, the prostate, which is located directly under the bladder, grows as men get older resulting in restriction of urine flow through the outlet pipe of the bladder (urethra) and hence the symptoms. […] Symptoms, due to an enlarged prostate / BPH, may initially be obstructive and progress to become more irritative in nature as changes within the bladder wall develop due to the long standing blockage. […] There are, however, no hard and fast rules with prostate enlargement / BPH. On occasions symptoms improve naturally without any treatment, others remain unchanged, whilst in some men may progress and become more severe. It is difficult to determine who will progress and, who is less likely to develop more severe symptoms.
