The Blocked Urethra

A puffy, enlarged prostate can block the urethra in older men. Because of this, it is challenging to empty the bladder entirely, and leaking of urine results.

I recall this happening to a family member. The pressure and discomfort became overwhelming. His worried spouse couldn't talk him into seeing a doctor, but his race-track buddy suggested he take a cab the hospital outpatients' clinic-- for the first time in his over seventy years (never saw a doctor, but had a medicine cabinet overflowing with across-the-counter meds). He experienced great relief when he was catheterized.

The symptoms of Enlarging Prostate (EP)might include:

day had two-thirds the rates of serious disease (such as prostate cancer)
