Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, also known as BPH, is a common condition in men as they age. It occurs when the prostate gland enlarges, causing symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and a weak urine stream. BPH can be treated with a variety of medications, including alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, which help to relax the prostate muscles and reduce its size, respectively. These medications can help alleviate symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for men with BPH. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual.
