In fact, approximately 80% of men experience some degree of BPH by age 80.1 enlargement typically begins at about 40 to 45 years of age and continues throughout life. Men who are diagnosed with BHP is encouraged to go in regular reviews (annually) to control prostate growth, however, many men spend years with experience symptoms.

If no drug treatment, procedures Invasive procedures such as transurethral resection, is used to relieve symptoms. Transurethral resection is the surgical procedure most frequently used to treat BPH and is removing the prostate through the urethra. This reduces the pressure on the urethra and normalizes urination. The latest technologies have been developed with lasers and microwave thermotherapy (see p. 20). to vaporize the prostate tissue or delete excess, which achieves the same result as the transurethral resection.
