Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Introduction

Are you a man that is experiencing a weak or interrupted urine stream, dribbling after urinating, or the urge to urinate even after voiding? These symptoms may be a result of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlargement of the prostate. As a man ages, the prostate gland progressively becomes larger causing constriction of the urethra and obstruction of the flow of urine. This obstruction to the flow of urine may be the reason for such symptoms.
