What Does BPH Stand For?
BPH stands for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
BPH, or Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, is a common condition in older men characterized by the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. This enlargement can lead to urinary symptoms such as difficulty initiating urination, increased frequency of urination, and a weak urine stream. While BPH is not life-threatening, it can significantly impact quality of life. Management options include lifestyle changes, medication, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. Regular medical evaluation is recommended for those experiencing symptoms.
