What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged but is not cancerous. This enlargement can squeeze the urethra, making it hard for urine to pass. It’s a common part of aging in men and can lead to bothersome urinary symptoms like urgency, frequent urination, and weak flow. Though not dangerous, untreated BPH can cause complications like bladder damage or infections. Early detection and treatment help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life without major health risks.
