Disease/Condition Glossary

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): It is a condition in men in which age-related prostate gland enlargement occurs, which may cause urination difficulty. It occurs when the prostate gland's cells start to multiply. Your prostate gland swells due to these extra cells, which squeeze the urethra and decrease urine flow. The exact cause is unknown, but age-related changes in male sex hormones may be a factor. Any testicular abnormalities or a family history of prostate issues could increase the risk of developing BPH. The symptoms include excessive urination at night, dribbling (to move downwards in a thin flow) after urination, a sense of incomplete bladder emptying, an urge to urinate and leaking, frequent urination and a weak urinary stream.
