What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
The Prostate gland is an organ present in males only and it sits at the base of the urinary bladder, circumferentially surrounding the initial part of the urethra. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH as it is commonly known is a benign (non calculus) condition in which the prostate gland progressively enlarges. As the gland enlarges it progressively compressive the urethra and also irritates the base of the urinary bladder resulting in obstruction to the flow of urine.
