Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia othewise known as BPH or an enlarged prostate is common to many men. Fifty-percent of men ages 5o and above may have symptoms. The chance of being symptomatic occurs in a higher percentage each decade after age 50.

The symptoms include frequency, urgency, nocturia ( getting up at night to urinate), incomplete emptying, hesistancy, or at worst urinary retention. treatment is recommended if your life is adversely affected by any one or more of these symptoms.
