Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosing and Treatment

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (also called BPH) is a condition that affects the prostate gland in men. The prostate is a gland found between the bladder and the urethra, and as a man ages, the prostate gland slowly grows bigger and enlarges. The term “benign” means that the enlargement isn’t caused by cancer or infection.
