Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that affects men of middle and older ages when the prostate becomes enlarged and causes urination disorders. An enlarged prostate will obstruct normal urine flow from the bladder. Eventually, the condition progresses and causes complications, such as difficulties with urination, infections, bleeding and kidney dysfunction. Main symptoms include frequent urination, smaller urine flow, accidental urination, need to urinate even when the bladder is empty, urinating at night, difficulty starting to urinate and pain in the bladder.
