@bold.organs: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can gradually narrow the urethra, making it more difficult for urine to flow from the bladder. As the prostate enlarges, it can compress the urethra that passes through it gradually changing the way the bladder empties. This hyper-realistic cross-sectional illustration shows the bladder, bladder neck, enlarged prostate, and compressed urethra, along with surrounding pelvic structures and blood vessels. This narrowing can contribute to symptoms such as a weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, frequent urination, urgency, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. 🚹 A prostate can enlarge slowly over time, gradually narrowing the passage urine must travel through to leave the body. 📚 For educational purposes only.
