Enlarged prostate is very common in men. By the age of 50, one in two males experiences prostate enlargement and by the age of 80, this figure reaches about 90%. The prostate is located inside the male body, just below the bladder. The urethra, through which all urine passes, goes straight through the prostate. When the prostate grows, which it normally does when men get older, it squeezes the urethra, which can make urination difficult or even impossible.

Thus, enlarged prostate can affect bladder. How does enlarged prostate affect bladder? About half of all men with enlarged prostates experience symptoms. The constricted urethra makes it hard to empty your bladder, or to resist the urge to urinate.

1. Trouble resisting the urge to urinate

•Need to urinate often
•Need to urinate at night
•Severe urgings that lead to urine leakage

2. Emptying problems

•Difficulty in starting to empty
•Weak urine flow
•Feeling that your bladder has not been completely emptied
•Your bladder is not completely emptied after urination

Sometimes these emptying problems can cause a complete stop of urine flow and urinary tract infections that are difficult to treat. The symptoms described above can also be due to other illnesses in the lower urinary system, so you should get it treated quickly.
