Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — also called prostate gland enlargement — is a common condition as men get older. An enlarged prostate gland can cause uncomfortable urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It can also cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems.

BPH is considered a normal condition of male ageing, and many men older than 80 years have BPH symptoms. Although the exact cause is unknown, changes in male sex hormones that come with ageing may be a factor. Any family history of prostate problems or any abnormalities with your testicles may raise your risk of BPH.

First, although it has nothing to do with cancer, untreated BPH has the potential to lead to serious complications, ranging from urinary tract infections and stones in the bladder or kidney to urinary retention and kidney damage.
