An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition in older men where the prostate gland grows larger than normal. This growth can press against the urethra, leading to difficulties in urination, such as a weak stream or frequent need to urinate, especially at night. While an enlarged prostate is not cancerous, it can cause discomfort and affect quality of life. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgical procedures to relieve symptoms and improve urinary function. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are important for managing this condition.
