Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem of aging for men. It has been proposed that the disorder has two phases, one that involves no clinical signs and the other that is manifested as disorders of urination from urinary tract obstruction by an enlarged prostate (1). In the first phase, there are microscopic changes within the prostate that may occur as early as the fourth decade of life and these may then be followed by macroscopic changes, namely enlargement of the prostate that typically begins during the fifth or sixth decade of life.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Monday, April 13th, 2009Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous growth of the prostate gland, makes urination difficult and uncomfortable. The expanding prostate squeezes the urethra, the channel that carries urine from the bladder. Symptoms usually develop in men around age 50. At age 60, most men have some degree of BPH. At age 80, men have an 80 percent chance of experiencing urination problems caused by BPH. BPH is NOT cancer and it does NOT put you at increased risk for developing prostate cancer.
