Will Benign prostatic hyperplasia be life threatening for me?

First of all, your disease is not a disease. Yes, it's true. Every man's prostate grows continually, and there comes an age, when this starts to disturb urination. This disturbance is related to the blocking of your urinary duct that is inside of your prostate. By the age of 80, 75 % have disturbing symptoms from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia!!!

This condition has other names, because of non coherence of various urologists. It can be called:

Benign prostatic hypertrophy

Benign enlargement of the prostate 

Adenofibromyomatous hyperplasia

Will I Live?

Yes, of course! You should have known it from the name BENIGN (Italian: Bene=Good). This condition is not life threatening, and can be totally cured. There are some little risks although. For example:

If your urine is blocked for a long time, there is a risk that your bladder germs go up to the kidneys, and cause a Pyelonefritis. It's a serious condition!

Also, if a doctor chooses to place a catheter in your urinary duct to the bladder, it should't be kept for long, as it can cause Serious Infections.

If you are placed under surgery, your prostate will be gone forever. If you are in a fertile age, be sure to COMMAND the doctor to take some more time with your spermatic ducts!!!!
