BPH is a non-cancerous condition in which the inner part of the prostate (around the urethra) often keeps growing as men get older.In BPH, the prostate tissue can press on the urethra, leading to problems passing urine. Is not cancer and does not develop into cancer. But it can be a serious problem for some men. ‎ CAUSES ‎1-Theories ‎•Hormonal levels related to age throughout their lives, men produce testosterone, a male hormone, and small amounts of estrogen, a female hormone. As men age, the amount of active testosterone in their blood decreases, which leaves a higher proportion of estrogen within the prostate increasing the activity of substances that promote prostate cell growth. ‎•Another theory focuses on Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone that plays a role in prostate development and growth, Indicates that even with a drop in blood testosterone levels, older men continue to produce and accumulate high levels of DHT in the prostate. This accumulation of DHT may encoura...

Increased Drooling  - Excessive drooling during teething can sometimes lead to swallowing more saliva, which might slightly loosen stools—but not enough to cause true diarrhea. ‎3. Mild Irritability & Chewing Behaviors  - Babies may chew on toys or unclean objects to soothe sore gums, increasing their exposure to germs that could cause diarrhea. ‎ ‎What Science Says ‎Studies have f...
