This condition is most common in older men. It is caused by swelling of the prostate glad, which is between the bladder and the urinary tube (urethra).
- The person has difficulty in passing urine and sometimes in having a bowel movement. The urine may only dribble or drip or become blocked completely.
Sometimes the man is not able to urinate for days.
- If he has a fever, this is a sign that infection is also present.
TREATMENT FOR AN ENLARGED PROSTATE:
- If the person cannot urinate, he should try sitting in a tub of hot water, like this: if this does not work, a catheter may be needed.
- If he has a fever , use an antibiotic such as ampicillin or tetracycline.
- Get medical help. Serious or chronic cases may require surgery.
NOTE: it is important to distinguish between prostrate trouble and gonorrhea or chlamydia, which can also make it hard to pass urine. In older men it is more likely to be an enlarged prostate.
However, a younger man especially one who has had sexual contact with an infected person ( within the last few days or weeks) probably has gonorrhea or chlamydia.
