BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non cancerous condition that affects the prostate. The prostate gland is a small gland found deep within the pelvis. It's role is to produce PSA. BPH affects the majority of men as they progress through life. With increasing age comes a greater likelihood of BPH. BPH can manifests as a gradual decline in urinary symptoms. These symptoms are classified as obstructive or irritative. Obstructive symptoms include a slow flow, hesitancy, intermittency to the stream or a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Irritative symptoms include urgency, frequency and nocturia, or getting up several times through the night to void. In this video the pathophysiology is discussed. This is the first in a series of 3 videos discussing BPH.
I hope this helps and good luck with your journey!
