Enlarged prostate, or Benign
Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition
that affects half of all men over the age of 50. By the time a man reaches
his 70's or 80's, 80% will be affected by the condition.
Enlarged Prostate is not life threatening, nor is it cancer, however,
if left untreated it can lead to other health problems such as urinary
retention, urinary infection or kidney damage.
