What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, commonly known as BPH, is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly occurs as men age. This condition can cause urinary symptoms due to the prostate pressing against the urethra, leading to various complications.
Symptoms of BPH:
Symptoms of BPH can vary in severity and may include:
Frequent or Urgent Need to Urinate
Feelings of urgency often disrupt daily activities, prompting frequent bathroom visits.
Difficulty Starting Urination
Struggling to initiate urination, often accompanied by a weak urine stream or dribbling.
Weak Urine Stream or Dribbling
Experiencing a diminished force of urine flow, leading to dribbling or incomplete emptying.
Straining to Urinate
Efforts to urinate may require significant straining, causing discomfort and frustration.

Diagnosis of BPH:
Diagnosing BPH involves a thorough medical history review, physical examination, and possibly additional tests, including:
- Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): To assess the size and condition of the prostate gland.
- Urinalysis: To rule out urinary tract infection or other urinary abnormalities.
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: To measure PSA levels in the blood, which may be elevated in BPH and prostate cancer.
- Urodynamic Studies: To evaluate bladder function and urine flow rate.
