Can An Enlarged Prostate Cause Urinary Tract Infections UTIs? by jubikpama(m): 8:04pm On Feb 12, 2019
Can an enlarged prostate cause UTIs?

We know that Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), or simply bladder infections, are common in women, but could a Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) an enlarged prostate contribute to similar infections in men? Today I’m discussing the extent to which this is a risk, and what to do if you think you have a bladder infection

How does an enlarged prostate affect the bladder?

As the prostate begins to swell it can start to affect different parts of the urinary system. It can begin to tighten around the urethra, making it harder for urine to flow through the narrow tube. It can also start to press on the underside of the bladder and can even reduce the amount of space available in the bladder. 

Due to the narrowing of the urethra, some of the common symptoms of an enlarged prostateinclude a difficulty starting urination, and a weak stream or poor flow when you do start. You may also find that your bladder doesn’t quite feel empty afterwards. In serious cases, the urethra can become completely blocked, causing urinary retention.

As a result of the prostate pushing on the bladder, you’ll probably also find that you need to urinate more often, and that the urge to urinate can come quickly and suddenly.

Can BPH cause bladder infections in men?

In some cases, it is plausible that an enlarged prostate could cause a UTI, depending on the symptoms you’re experiencing and their severity.

Urinary infections are generally caused when stagnant urine sits in the bladder for too long, as this gives bacteria time to multiply. If your main symptoms are frequent and urgent urination then this is less likely to be a problem as your bladder is being regularly emptied.

However, if your symptoms are usually things like difficulty starting urination or difficulty fully emptying the bladder then this could become a problem, as these symptoms could cause urine to sit in the bladder for too long.

In some cases, men try to reduce their intake of water in an attempt to reduce the frequency with which they’re going to the bathroom, but this can actually make things much worse! Not only will the acidic urine irritate your bladder and potentially worsen symptoms, but concentrated urine also provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. 

If you experience a total inability to empty the bladder, you must go to the hospital where they can empty your bladder using a catheter.

However, there are also a few ways to treat a UTI at home:

Drink plenty of water. This will help to flush the bacteria out of the bladder and will make urination less painful.

Reduce sugar intake. Bacteria love sugar, so starve them by reducing your sugar intake!

Can treating your enlarged prostate help?

If your UTI is indeed the result of an enlarged prostate, then taking steps to treat this condition may help to prevent further infections.

Suffering from Prostate cancer is difficult and screening should be priority. Also many times second opinions from UK or India help to provide different treatment options. Check our cancer guides https://onco-connect.com/cancer-guides/
