Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Også kendt som: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, BPH, Cystic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, CBPH
Kort sagt
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects intact male dogs as they age. Driven by normal hormonal changes, BPH can cause straining to defecate, bloody urine, or discharge. Fortunately, it is highly treatable and completely curable through surgical castration, while medical options exist for breeding dogs.

TL;DR. Ikke-kræftagtig forstørrelse hos intakte hanner; pres, blod eller flåd; behandles godt med kastration eller medicin.
