enlarged prostate surgery

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an Enlarged Prostate, is a condition where the prostate gland increases in size, often affecting men after the age of 40. The exact cause of BPH is not well understood, but it is believed to be linked to hormonal changes that occur with aging, particularly the balance of Testosterone and Estrogen. Genetic factors and a family history of prostate issues may also contribute to the development of BPH. Symptoms of BPH can vary in severity and may include frequent urination, especially at night (Nocturia), difficulty starting and stopping urination, weak urine stream, and the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. In some cases, it can lead to Urinary Tract Infections or Bladder Stones due to the inability to fully empty the bladder.
