Hello. Today we are going to talk a little bit about Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, another disease very common in men from 40 years of age. Under the influence of testosterone, the prostate, which has an average of 20-30 grams, grows and begins to compress the urethra, making it difficult to empty the bladder. The most common symptoms are faint urine stream, urge to urinate and need to go several times to the toilet. Treatment includes topical medications that serve to relax the prostate musculature associated with medications that inhibit the action of testosterone and in more advanced cases surgical treatment may be necessary.
