WHAT IS BPH? (BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA)
A healthy prostate gland is approximately
the shape and size of a walnut.
As men age, the prostate gland often becomes enlarged. This very common process is called BPH, or enlarged prostate. This causes the prostate to press against the urethra, causing chronic and sometimes troublesome lower urinary tract symptoms that can severely affect your quality of life.
