the bladder, kidney damage, bladder stones, urinary infections and other problems.
The prostate gland is slightly larger than a peanut and is located snug in between the urethra and the
pubic bone. As the prostate grows, the bladder has to work more in order to push urine through the
newly thinned urethra. The muscles of the bladder become overworked and therefore more sensitive.
This causes the person affected to have to urinate more frequently. As the prostate grows and places
pressure on the already sensitive bladder, the bladder begins to lose the ability to empty itself
