Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland commonly found in older men. As the prostate enlarges, it can press against the urethra, leading to urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, a weak urine stream, and frequent urination, especially at night. While BPH is not life-threatening, it can significantly affect quality of life and may require treatment if symptoms are severe. Management options range from lifestyle changes and medications to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of symptoms.
