Enlargement of the prostate gland, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common and treatable condition that causes urinary symptoms. The percentage of men who get urinary symptoms increases with age. BPH isn’t related to prostate cancer, but its symptoms can be uncomfortable and may significantly affect quality of life.
Depending on your symptom severity and prostate anatomy, your doctor will discuss these treatment options with you.
