What Is Prostate Enlargement?

Prostate enlargement, medically called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a non-cancerous increase in prostate size that commonly affects men above 50 years.

As the prostate enlarges, it compresses the urine passage, leading to difficulty in passing urine and incomplete bladder emptying.

BPH is not cancer, but proper evaluation is important to rule out serious conditions.
