Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects the prostate gland in males. It is characterized by excessive growth of non-cancerous cells in the prostate, which can lead to symptoms such as difficulty starting or maintaining a stream of urine, frequent trips to the bathroom, weak bladder stream, and difficulty emptying the bladder. BPH can be managed through lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, medications, and in more severe cases, surgery. BPH is a common condition and is important to diagnose and manage due to its potential to cause more serious complications such as bladder stones and urinary tract infections.
