Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlargement of prostate gland, and it is a common thing that often occurs in men when they grow older. As a man getting older, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around age 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results, years later, in Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

However, the prostate is growing during most of a man's life, the enlargement doesn't usually cause problems until late in life. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) rarely causes symptoms before age 40, but more than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90 percent in their seventies and eighties have some symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
