Urinary question answered
The question I posed for the urinary system was what was a dangerous urinary disease. Lo and behold: benign prostatic hyperplasia. This disease is the enlargement of the prostate which can lead to the blockage of the urethra and urinary tract. Most men experience an enlargement of their prostate as they age, but it only become a problem if it becomes so bug as to block pathways.
Here are some symptoms of the disease:
- feeling that you must urinate right away (urgency)
- a delay when you start urinating
- weak or interrupted stream of urine
- tendency to dribble after urination
- feeling your bladder isn't empty after urination
- pain in the lower back, pelvis, or upper thighs
BPH can cause urinary infections and urinary stones as a result. If the u return becomes completely b,locked, it is a medical emrgency. It is not widely known what causes BPH, but those whoever are castrated do not experience this disease. There is a link between the testes and this common disease in aging men. It is thought that since testosterone decreases in male as they get older, and estrogen is still being produced, the estrogen stimulates cell growth and possibly leads to BPH.
