Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a nonmalignant growth of prostatic tissue that surrounds the urethra, and leads to constriction of the urethral opening, which gives rise to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). BPH is commonly observed in men ages 40 years and above. The diagnosis of BPH is made on clinical basis by the presence of LUTS and benign prostatic enlargement and the absence of any other identifiable causes.
