Prostate Enlargement
or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in aging men. It involves the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland, which surrounds the urethra. As the prostate enlarges, it can constrict the urethra, leading to urinary symptoms. These may include frequent urination, weak urine flow, incomplete bladder emptying, and nocturia (frequent urination at night). Treatment options for prostate enlargement vary from watchful waiting and medications to surgical procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or laser therapy. Managing BPH aims to alleviate urinary issues and improve overall quality of life.
