BPH - Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men, where the prostate gland enlarges and puts pressure on the urethra, causing urinary symptoms such as weak urine flow, urgency, and frequent trips to the bathroom. While it is not a cancerous condition, BPH can impact a man's quality of life and can lead to urinary retention and other complications if left untreated. Treatment options for BPH range from medications to minimally invasive procedures, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
