This condition is common in men of all ages and is usually caused by a bacteria that has invaded the prostate from another part of the body but it can also be caused by hormone changes as a result of the aging process. When the inflammation and enlargement occurs, urine is not emptied from the bladder at which point the bladder becomes tender, weak and distended. The bladder could also get an infection which could quickly advance to the kidneys.
