Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in older men, where the prostate gland enlarges, leading to urinary difficulties. BPH can cause uncomfortable and disruptive symptoms, such as frequent urination, weak urine stream and incomplete emptying of the bladder. BPH is not cancerous and can be managed with a variety of treatments that can help to improve symptoms. Treatment options range from medications, to lifestyle changes, to surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. Awareness of BPH can help men understand the potential risks and signs, as well as inform them about treatment options.
