Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – Symptoms and Causes

Pelvic Pain

Around 10 to 20 percent of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia experience pelvic pain. This is caused when the prostate gland becomes too large and increases pressures in the pelvic area. The sensation can range from mild to serious, depending on the underlying cause. You can check this symptom by gently pressing between the groin and navel. If left untreated, it might increase the risk of developing prostatitis and urinary tract infection. [4]
