BPH may present with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including:

• Weakened urinary stream
• Difficulty initiating urination
• Intermittent urinary flow
• Straining to urinate
• Urinary urgency
• Increased frequency of urination, including nocturia (nighttime urination)
• Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
• Post-void dribbling
  

It is important to note that these symptoms can also result from other conditions, such as urinary stones, infections, overactive bladder, or prostate/bladder cancer. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a doctor for further assessment.

Diagnosis typically involves: 

• Digital Rectal Examination (DRE): The doctor assesses the prostate size and checks for irregularities via the rectum
• Bedside ultrasound scan: To estimate prostate size
• Urine sample: To rule out infection
• Uroflowmetry: To evaluate urine flow
• Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test: To check PSA antigen levels, aiding in distinguishing BPH from prostate cancer
