Could enlarged prostate lead to bladder stone formation?
The growth of the prostate gland affects urinary flow and functions. This growth pushes against the urethra. This obstructs the urethra causing urine to remain in the bladder which may lead to the formation of bladder stones. There are several good supplements available in the market these days to proactively protect prostate health. A good prostate health vitamin can help relieve these types of prostate concerns. Look for products that contain beta sitosterol, Vitamin D, zinc, manganese and toher minerals.
Yes, unfortunately, all prostate problems, if allowed to progress, can lead to bladder stones or kidney damage. An enlarging prostate gradually obstructs the flow of urine and in time prevents the bladder from emptying completely. When urine is held in bladder, it gets concentrated and can become infected. That can lead to stone formation.
