Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among men over 40, caused by natural enlargement of the prostate gland with age.
Symptoms include:
- Difficulty starting urination or weak urine stream.
- Frequent urination, especially at night.
- Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
Diagnosis is made through physical examination, blood tests (like PSA), and ultrasound.
Treatment depends on severity:
- Mild cases: lifestyle changes and observation.
- Moderate to severe: medications to reduce prostate size and improve urine flow.
- Advanced cases: surgical or laser intervention may be necessary.
