6. Enlarged Prostate
An enlarged prostate can put significant pressure on the bladder, causing irritation and issues with urinating. Individuals with an enlarged prostate can experience either a constant need to urinate or an inability to urinate altogether. Bloody urine may also be seen.
An enlarged prostate is also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia and can be effectively treated with alpha-blockers. Those with a history of an enlarged prostate in the family are more likely to develop symptoms. Diabetes and age can also play a role.6‘Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 2 Mar. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/benign-prostatic-hyperplasia/symptoms-causes/syc-20370087.
