The prostrate is a small male gland the size of a walnut that is found at the base of the bladder which surrounds the neck of the bladder and the urinary outlet known as the urethra. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which is also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy is the natural enlargement of the prostrate gland which typically happens to a man after the age of 40, it is non-malignant. One in three men over 50 years of age will experience the symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the condition increases with age. The typical symptoms of a man who has Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are, a need to urinate more especially at night, difficulty with starting to urinate, a weak urinary stream which causes dribbling and starting and stopping whilst in mid flow and having a feeling of not emptying the bladder properly.
