Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in men that sits between the bladder and the urethra. It is a sexual organ that is involved in semen production. Because of its location at the bladder outlet, enlargement or irregularity of the prostate may impede the flow of urine, causing bothersome symptoms. 

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland which may or may not result in urinary symptoms. It is one of the most common conditions affecting older men, as high as 50% of men aged 60 years and above.
