What You Need To Know About Prostatic Hypertrophy

Are you aware that every year, the number of men complaining about difficulty in urinating is growing in number? Most of them learn that they are already suffering from prostatic hypertrophy a bit too late because most of them rarely talk about having problems urinating. Some might say that it is normal to deny one?s self of treatment especially if they deem it unnecessary. There are others who believe that it is quite uncomfortable to go about the consultation process with a doctor. This is the very reason why most of them end up dealing with an enlarged prostate and in under a lot of pain.

In medical terms, prostatic hypertrophy is also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia which usually affects men who are 65 years old and above. Studies have shown that fifty percent of men in their early sixties already feel the first symptoms of Prostatic hypertrophy while the others suffer from it a little bit late around seventies or eighties.

Perhaps what makes prostatic hypertrophy as one of the most researched areas in medicine is because up until today, there are still a lot of medical practitioners who are curious about what causes such kind of medical problem when most of them usually charge its development to a man?s aging process. In the past few years, it has become a common condition for men and sadly, it is extremely late for most of them to realize that they have already developed it. Usually, they just find themselves unable to take the pain.

However, despite the efforts, little is known about what causes prostatic hypertrophy although several theories have been put together in the attempt to explain such medical condition so that a cure for it could also be found. One of which is blamed on genetics. If a grandfather, father, uncle or brother has suffered or is suffering from it, all the other boys in the family would most likely develop it when they get much older. Sadly, this disease can be passed down from generation to generation but not really knowing why or how it can be prevented.

Today, researchers continue to develop studies about the Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in hopes that in the coming years, they could come up with something that will save men from going through all the trouble.
