What are Consequences of enlarged prostrate?

An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can lead to various urinary issues, including increased frequency of urination, urgency, weak urine flow, and difficulty starting or stopping urination. It may also cause bladder infections or bladder stones due to incomplete emptying of the bladder. In severe cases, it can result in acute urinary retention, requiring emergency medical intervention. Additionally, chronic urinary problems can affect quality of life and lead to complications such as kidney damage.
