10 Enlarged Prostate Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #7: Urinary Frequency
When we relieve ourselves, our bladders are more or less emptied of the urine inside. We then don’t usually feel the need to urinate again until our bladders are full again, which usually takes a few hours or so. However, people that have an enlarged prostate can find that they feel the need to urinate even after they have been to the bathroom.
An enlarged prostate will press against the adjacent bladder. This has the effect of reducing the capacity of the bladder, and this can make us feel as though we are full. This can be a difficult symptom for the patient because they can find it difficult to relax, and this can make it difficult for them to sleep at night.
