Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Who has it?
As a man ages, his likelihood for developing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) increases. Only 10% of men younger than the age of 40 years have BPH, whereas 50% of men in their sixties and 90% of men over the age of 80 years have prostate gland enlargement. Even though so many men have BPH, less than 5% receive treatment, mainly because many men think that urinary difficulties are a normal sign of aging and don't realize that effective treatments exist.
