Research Notes on Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is the increase in size of the prostate. It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. Many symptoms of BPH stem from obstruction of the urethra and gradual loss of bladder function, which results in incomplete emptying of the bladder. The size of the prostate does not always determine how severe the obstruction or the symptoms will be. Some men with greatly enlarged glands have little obstruction and few symptoms while others, whose glands are less enlarged, have more blockage and greater problems.
