Enlarged Prostate, also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, is a common condition in men where the prostate gland increases in size and affects urine flow. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men. It surrounds the urethra, which carries urine out of the body. When the prostate enlarges, it presses on the urethra and affects normal urine flow.
BPH develops gradually and is common in ageing men. Many people may ignore early symptoms, which can worsen over time if not treated.
