Prostatomegaly

Prostatomegaly

The increase in size of the prostate can lead to an impairment of the urinary stream, bladder emptying dysfunction with e.g. formation of residual urine and in the final state to the destruction of the bladder muscles. In order to prevent this early enough, the symptoms (frequent urge to urinate, nightly urge to urinate, residual urine sensation,…) should be taken seriously and should be clarified by a specialist. Subsequently, it may be advisable to initiate a medication therapy; possibly an operation may be necessary.
