A swollen prostate, often referred to as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is primarily caused by hormonal changes that occur with aging. Increased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, can stimulate prostate growth. Other factors may include inflammation or infection, known as prostatitis, and lifestyle factors such as obesity and lack of physical activity. In some cases, genetic predisposition may also play a role in the development of a swollen prostate.
