Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, is a common problem affecting men as they age. The most frequent symptoms include an urgent need to urinate, getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and difficulty passing urine.
Men with mild BPH may not immediately require treatment and may find that lifestyle changes may be all they need to find relief.
