    non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland common in older men

    Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate, is a non-cancerous increase in the size of the prostate gland. This condition is common in older men and can lead to urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, a weak urine stream, and frequent urination, especially at night. BPH occurs due to hormonal changes and can be managed with medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical procedures if necessary.
