But, experts believe some male hormones, like dihydrotestosterone, have a major role to play.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThe first time the prostate grows is during puberty. The second growth is at the age of 25 and keeps growing during most of a man\u2019s life. As a man grows older, their prostate can grow bigger.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3739117\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">research<\/a>, in men older than 60, the rate of increase in prostate length amplifies. This creates a bigger prostate diameter. But, before the age of 60, the prostate grows slowly. Whereas after 60, it drastically increases in length.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThe bigger the prostate, the heavier the pressure on the urethra.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) refers to a non-malignant growth of prostate tissue.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nIt is a classic cause of LUTS symptoms in men. The prostate is found right beneath the bladder, and it surrounds parts of the urethra.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nIf the prostate becomes enlarged, it can push against the bladder muscles, urethra, and bladder. The constant pressure is weakening the bladder muscles.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nTo better understand enlarged prostate measurements, the prostate is typically considered enlarged on imaging when the prostate gland volume measures over 30 ccs (mL).\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nAge has a drastic impact on prostate volume. Reports of healthy Caucasian volunteers show a steady increase in mean prostate volume from 24 mL to 38 mL for those between the ages of 50-54 years and people older than 75\u00a0years.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 id=\"h-signs-of-an-enlarged-prostate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of an enlarged prostate<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nIf the prostate is very enlarged, it can push against the urethra and bladder. This can trigger a wide range of symptoms. Such as:\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n \t<li>A strong and frequent urge to urinate, particularly at night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n \t<li>Taking longer for the urine to start flowing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n \t<li>Weaker urine stream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n \t<li>Trouble emptying the bladder completely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nBPH doesn\u2019t impair ejaculation. But, some of the therapies for managing urinary symptoms could lead to ejaculatory dysfunction. Around 10% to 20% of BPH patients also have symptoms or a diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain syndrome. They tend to have urinary pain and discomfort.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nIn a small percentage of men, untreated prostate hyperplasia can cause urinary retention. The risk of urinary retention increases with age and as the symptoms get gradually worse.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 id=\"h-causes-and-risk-factors\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes and risk factors<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nProstate enlargement often develops in older men. Hormone changes can play a role. For instance, as men grow older, the levels of active testosterone plummet while the amount of estrogen remains the same.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThe prostate size increases when these hormone changes cause prostate cell growth. Experts also suggest that the DHT (dihydrotestosterone) male hormone affects prostate development. Prostate enlargement occurs when an accumulation of androgens stimulates cell proliferation.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nIt prevents prostatic cell death, thus enhancing the size of the prostate gland. The BPH incidence increases with age. Many risk factors can contribute to the development of BPH. These are metabolic syndrome, hypertension, genetic predisposition, and obesity.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nMen who are at risk of developing the condition are those:\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n \t<li>over the age of 50<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n \t<li>with a history of BPH<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n \t<li>obesity and overweight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":35965,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"custom\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-shrink-an-enlarged-prostate-naturally\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to shrink an enlarged prostate naturally<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n<strong>Saw palmetto<\/strong> is one of the most popular herbal remedies for BPH treatment. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12674456\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Research<\/a> demonstrates the effectiveness of saw palmetto in decreasing BPH symptoms.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nThis herbal remedy seems to have a similar effect to medications like finasteride.
