What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia(BPH)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia<\/a> is commonly known as enlarged prostate<\/a>, a condition found in men as they age to 60 years and go through it as they reach 80. The normal size of the prostate is that of a walnut or a golf ball, but it grows to as large as an orange as the gland enlarges and hence squeeze the urethra causing symptoms of weak urine stream or strain to pass urine. These problems could worsen leading to renal failure. Hence this condition needs immediate medical treatment. Although BPH is non-cancerous, in the sense it is benign, a complete diagnosis is required to get proper relief from it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
