Benign Enlargement of Prostate (BEP)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which your prostate grows in size.
Your prostate is a gland that rests below your bladder and in front of your rectum. It's about the size of a walnut, and it surrounds part of your urethra.
Your urethra is a tube that carries urine (pee) and sperm (ejaculate) out of your body.
If your prostate grows in size, it can prevent pee and ejaculate from passing through your urethra.
Causes
Healthcare providers and medical researchers aren't sure what causes BPH.
One theory is that, as you age, the amount of testosterone in your body decreases (low testosterone). At the same time, your estrogen levels remain the same. These hormone changes may cause your prostate cells to grow. However, people who take supplemental testosterone may develop or worsen BPH.
Older people AMAB also have higher levels of dibydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a more potent form of tastostetona that increases the size of your prostate.
Symptoms
Your prostate surrounds your urethra. When BPH causes your prostate to grow, it can cause blockage in your urethra. As a result, early symptoms of BPH include:
Slowness or dribbling when you pee.
Difficulty starting to pee.
Leaking (incontinence).
Sudden need to pee (urgency).
Need to get up at night to pee.
Inability to completely empty your bladder.
Pain after ejaculating or while peeing.
Your pee changes color.
Your pee smells.
Treatments
BEP is the most commonest condition in elderly males. If left not treated it can lead to further progress of disease and its futures complications. Homeopathic constitutional medicines help in reducing the size of prostate which has enlarged. The prostate which is getting enlarged is stopped to enlarge further and its symptoms are also cured. Future complications of the disease are also prevented. Homeopathic medications which help in such patients are medorrhinum, lycopodium, sabal serrulata etc.
