Prostatic growth and enlargement is a natural process that normally occurs in men. It occurs to varying degrees; in some men, growth can be excessive and can obstruct the flow of urine. Blockage of the urine occurs because as the prostate enlarges, tissue is forced inwards, thus compressing the urethra and blocking urinary flow.
