Prostate enlargement is a common condition that affects men, particularly as they age. The prostate wraps around the urethra and as the prostate grows, it can begin to squeeze the urethra.
This leads to common complaints of difficulty urinating and feeling the urge to frequently urinate. Testosterone, its potent metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and estrogen are hormones that affect the prostate gland. These are discussed further below.
Testosterone is converted into estrogen via the enzyme aromatase. Aromatase levels increase as men age resulting in a decline in testosterone levels and increased estrogen production.
Testosterone is also converted to its more potent form, DHT, via the enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase. The combination of increased estrogen levels along with elevated DHT is thought to be a factor in prostate enlargement, although no cause is known for certain. 1
