Causes, Symptoms, And Treatments Of An Enlarged Prostate

Complications

Serious problems may develop when the bladder is unable to empty completely. Urinary tract infections are the most common complication of an enlarged prostate. For many men, this may be the first sign of a problem. Other complications of BPH include blood in the urine, bladder stones, incontinence, and the inability to urinate. The complete and sudden lack of ability to urinate is an emergency medical condition that needs to be treated right away. Bladder and kidney damage may also be a result of BPH.
