Abstract
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a condition where the prostate becomes enlarged. It affects all men and is part of the ageing process. Globally, the incidence rates of BPH have risen by 70% between 2000-2019. When left untreated, it can lead to acute urinary retention, impaired bladder emptying, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, kidney failure or gross haematuria. In this article, Linda Nazarko describes the causes and consequences of BPH along with treatment options that are available for it.
