Introduction
Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic enlargement, is a common non-cancerous condition in which the prostate gland gradually increases in size.
As the prostate enlarges, it can compress the urethra and interfere with normal urine flow, leading to bothersome urinary symptoms that may affect quality of life.
BPH is not prostate cancer and does not increase cancer risk, but it can significantly impact daily activities if left untreated.
Modern urology offers a wide range of effective treatment options, from medical therapy to advanced minimally invasive surgical procedures.
