Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign enlarging of the male prostate gland, often beginning in a man’s 30s, initially without symptoms, by inward growth of prostate cells.
Widely varying pain and discomfort, erectile dysfunction, hesitation, urgent and frequent urination may also be concomitant problems.
All men experience an aggravation of these symptoms in periods of heavy stress, which is also a major cause of the BPH.

Depending on the history and other physical findings, your health care provider may order a prostate specific antigen test (PSA), to screen for prostate cancer. If the PSA is high or if there is any other reason to suspect the enlargement is due to something other than BPH, you may be referred to a urologist for further diagnostics.
Medications as Alpha-blockers prevent constriction of the bladder and urethra near the prostate.
