    TLDR African plum is linked to treating BPH and has economic benefits.
    The document discussed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition affecting many men over 50, characterized by symptoms such as increased urination frequency, incomplete bladder emptying, painful urination, and post-urination dribbling. BPH, although different from prostate cancer, shared a common cause with it: dihydrotestosterone, formed from testosterone by the enzyme 5α-reductase. Treatment options for BPH included conventional medications, surgical removal, and herbal remedies.
