Understanding Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects men as they age. The prostate surrounds the urethra, and when it enlarges, it can squeeze or partially block the urethra, leading to urinary problems.
BPH is not prostate cancer and does not increase the risk of cancer. However, it can significantly impact quality of life if left untreated. Early recognition and appropriate management can help patients maintain normal daily activities.
Common Symptoms of BPH
Recognizing the signs early can lead to timely treatment and better outcomes. Consult your doctor if you experience any of the following:
