Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) BPH, short for benign prostatic hypertrophy, is an unwanted but non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, usually from prolonged prostatitis, that eventually will become cancerous. See: "Prostatitis-the 60 day Cure" Although men in their twenties can suffer from BPH, it usually surfaces later in life. It's estimated that half of all men have BPH by the age of 60, and 90% will suffer from it by age 85. If the prostate enlarges outward, a man probably won't know he has BPH (unless it grows upward and pushes into the bladder). But if it swells inward, squeezing the urethra which passes through the center of the gland, he will know there's a problem. With the prostate squeezing down on the urinary tube, a man can suffer from hesitancy in urinating, straining to start the stream, a weak urinary stream, starting and stopping of the urine, dribbling of urine before and after urinating, frequent urination, getting up several times at night to urinate, or urgency of urination (a feeling that he has to go right now). He may also suffer from incomplete urination, which means that he can't completely empty his bladder, and possibly incontinence as well. "Prostatitis-the 60 Day Cure, by Larry Clapp, PhD, JD" NEW!
