Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, commonly affecting older men. This condition results in the prostate pressing against the urethra, leading to urinary issues such as frequent urination, difficulty starting or maintaining a stream, and incomplete bladder emptying. BPH develops due to hormonal changes, especially as men age, and though it isn’t life-threatening, it can significantly affect quality of life. Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes and medications to surgical interventions in severe cases.
