10 Enlarged Prostate Symptoms

Symptom #9: Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
Our bladders are basically a type of bag that holds a limited amount of fluid: urine. The bladder will slowly fill drip by drip as urine is produced by the kidneys from impurities in the body. When this bag is full then it will need to be emptied. The liquid is passed out through the body through the urethra, and this is a process we call urination.
Patients with an enlarged prostate may feel like they still have urine left inside their bladders even after urinating. This symptom is due to the compression of the bladder by the enlarged prostate gland. It can be annoying and sometimes may lead to unnecessary straining.
