Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also called prostate enlargement, is the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of cells. This leads to swelling and squeezing of the urethra and limits the urine flow. It is an age-associated prostate gland enlargement which can cause problems with urination. BPH symptoms include loss of bladder control, frequent urination, inability to urinate, incomplete bladder emptying, weak urinary stream, dribbling at the end of the urinary stream, sudden urge to urinate, and painful urination.

Male pattern hair loss: In male pattern hair loss, gradual thinning of the hair on the scalp occurs, which leads to a receding hairline or balding on the top of the head in men. It is usually genetic in nature or associated with androgens (male sex hormones).
