Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition resulting from the normal process of aging and cannot be prevented.
What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. It’s normal for the
prostate to grow throughout a man’s life. However, when the prostate grows large
enough to press on the urethra it can block the flow of urine. And
there is often an increase in smooth muscle tone in the prostate and bladder neck
leading to constriction of the bladder outlet, which also contributes to blocked
urine flow.
