Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Description
This non-infectious, non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland occurs in 50 to 60% of men, ages 40 to 59. An increase in prostatic concentrations of potent androgen, a derivative of testosterone, is most likely the cause. Other hormone levels are also elevated, including prolactin, oestradiol, and follicle-stimulating hormone.

The enlargement of the prostate may lead to urethra obstruction. Symptoms of BPH include bladder outlet obstruction (hesitancy, increased urinary frequency, waking at night to urinate, etc.); and an enlarged, non-tender prostate gland.
