Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that affects most men as they age. It squeezes the urethra and causes bothersome urinary symptoms.
Common signs
- Getting up at night to urinate
- Weak or interrupted stream
- Straining or difficulty starting
- Feeling the bladder has not emptied
- Sudden urge to urinate
Treatment options
Mild symptoms are often managed with lifestyle changes and medicines. When symptoms are severe or medicines fail, procedures like TURP or laser prostate surgery give long-lasting relief.
If you notice these symptoms, a simple evaluation with a urologist can help you choose the right treatment early.
