Benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH is the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is a walnut-sized gland part of the male reproductive system whose function is to add fluid to the semen. It is located beneath the urinary bladder, and the penile urethra passes through it. Therefore, the enlargement of this gland results in the obstruction to the flow of urine, causing the symptoms of difficulty passing urine, incomplete emptying of the bladder, increased urinary frequency, especially at night, etc. Enlargement of the prostate gland is part of the normal aging of men, and hence a widespread problem.
