Benign
Prostatic Hyperplasia, abbreviated as BPH,
is a more severe enlargement of the prostate gland;
the prostate gland experiences a non-cancerous growth
that pushes on the bladder and contracts the urethra
leading to urinary side effects that may or may not
effect daily life. Some symptoms of BPH may be confused
with the similar symptoms of prostate cancer. Patients
who feel that BPH interferes with the enjoyment of everyday
life, should see a doctor about possibly undergoing
the transurethral resection of the prostate which will
create a wider channel for the urethra where it passes
through the prostate gland.
