Understanding BPH (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy)

What is BPH?

BPH, or benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a common benign condition in men as they age. About half of all men between ages 51 and 60 and up to 90% of men over age 80 have BPH.

When the prostate gets large enough it squeezes the urethra and causes lower urinary tract symptoms like:

  • Frequency
  • Urgency
  • Straining
  • Nocturia (getting up to void at night)
