what is prostate

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or known as prostate gland enlargement is a noncancerous growth of the prostate gland, makes urination difficult and uncomfortable. The expanding prostate squeezes the urethra, the channel that carries urine from the bladder. Symptoms usually develop in men around age 50. At age 60, most men have some degree of BPH. At age 80, men have an 80 percent chance of experiencing urination problems caused by BPH. BPH is NOT cancer and it does NOT put you at increased risk for developing prostate cancer.
