Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH)

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is an inevitable result of aging in men. An overgrowth of the prostate gland with either benign enlarged tissue or small nodules, the prevalence of this condition goes from about 20 percent in men 40 years old to almost 90 percent when they reach their 70s.

BPH, while not cancer, can cause problems with both obtrusive symptoms for men as well as possibly even urinary blockage and chronic kidney disease in more extreme cases. It is a very common condition that is encountered while underwriting male lives.
