Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that affects men as they age. It is characterized by an enlarged prostate, a gland located just below the bladder. This condition is not cancerous, but it can lead to bothersome symptoms that affect quality of life.
The causes of BPH are multifactorial, including hormonal, genetic, and environmental factors. The main trigger is aging, as older men tend to have higher levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate growth.
Symptoms of BPH can vary, but the most common include:
