What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

BPH refers to the enlargement of prostate gland that occurs most commonly in elderly males. After the age of 50, most men develop enlarged prostates. Since, the prostate gland is located below the bladder; its enlargement causes restriction of urine flow. This can lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as:

• Interruption of sleep frequently caused by a need to urinate

• Stopping and starting several times while urinating
• Urinating again within 2 hours of finishing urination
• Finding it difficult to postpone urination
