00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
The prostate is a male gland located underneath the bladder
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.000
and is about the size of a chestnut.
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.000
In this cut section, you can see that part of the urethra is encased within the prostate gland.
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.000
As a man ages, the prostate typically enlarges in size in a process called
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000
benign prostate hypertrophy, or BPH,
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.000
which means that the gland gets larger without becoming cancerous.
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.000
The enlarged prostate crowds its anatomical neighbors,
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.000
particularly the urethra, causing it to narrow.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.000
The narrowed urethra results in several of the symptoms of BPH.
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.000
Symptoms may include a slowed or delayed start in urination,
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.000
the need to urinate frequently during the night,
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.000
difficulty in emptying the bladder,
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.000
a strong, sudden urge to urinate, and incontinence.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Less than half of all men with BPH have symptoms of the disease,
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.000
or their symptoms are minor and do not restrict their life style.
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.000
BPH is a normal physiological process of aging.
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.000
Treatment options are available and are based on the severity of the symptoms,
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.000
the extent to which they affect lifestyle, and the presence of other medical conditions.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.000
Men with BPH should consult with their physician yearly to monitor the progression
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.000
of the symptoms and decide the best course of treatment as needed.
