Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Definition:
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is the condition in which the prostate enlarges or swells to the point that it can put pressure on the urethra, acting like a clamp. The prostate gland is a small gland located near the neck of the bladder and urethra. Its primary function is to contribute to seminal fluid.
Symptoms:
Difficulty in the voiding of urine. Making frequent trips to the restroom in order to void urine during the night and usually just dribbling.
Cause:
The cause of enlargement of the prostate gland is the collection of mucus and sediment in the gland. Often the male hormones produced by the body are not enough to keep the prostate gland functioning well. The nitrates and nitrites in processed meats, hot dogs, baloney, and other cold cuts have a particularly important role in the formation of cancer of the prostate in the male.
