Enlarged Prostate
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
An enlarged prostate, medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a noncancerous increase in the size of the prostate that frequently occurs as men age. As it grows, the gland can press on the urethra and make it harder for urine to pass.
Common symptoms: Weak urine stream, needing to urinate frequently (especially at night), a feeling of incomplete emptying and difficulty starting urination.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when urinary symptoms affect rest or daily activities.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the go-to specialist for evaluating the prostate, and the general practitioner can guide the first visit. If you notice changes when urinating, the wisest thing is to discuss it with a professional who can assess your situation.
