Disease Explanation
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which the prostate gland becomes enlarged and causes problems with urination. The prostate is a small gland that produces fluid for semen and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the bladder. When the prostate grows bigger, it can squeeze or block the urethra and make it hard to pee. BPH can cause symptoms such as frequent or urgent need to pee, difficulty starting or stopping the urine stream, weak or interrupted urine flow, dribbling at the end of urination, and feeling like the bladder is not completely empty.
