According to urologists, benign prostate hypertrophy effects 10s of millions of men. A condition not dangerous but should not be ignored.

"BPH is an enlarged prostate; basically it is a benign growth of the prostate. Everybody gets it with time all men of course. After the age 50, most men will have some component of an enlarged prostate. Whether they have symptoms or not that is separate," said Dr. Bidar Mian.

Testosterone, a sex hormone, causes the prostate to enlarge. Over time, the channels around the prostate become narrower, affecting the flow of urine.

"Men have symptoms of the bladder like frequency, urgency to go to the bathroom. Waking up at night to go to bath room, slow stream, have to push to void," said Mian.

According to Dr. Mian, BPH is not controlled by diet or exercise. The biggest problem issue is that men endure the symptoms way too long before seeking treatment.

"Men tend to ignore the symptoms and they don't want to seen by a doctor. There are 10's of millions of people who could benefit from treatment," Mian said.

Treatment includes medication and sometimes surgery.

"It's called transurethral resection of the prostate, meaning we go in there with a scope, through the urethra, backwards into the bladder remove prostate tissue to enlarge the channel. It is relatively a minor surgery, outpatient or overnight. It opens up the channel where you can void with ease and without the use of medication," said Mian.
