Overview
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects more than 50% of men aged 50 and older, making it the most common urological condition in aging males. It causes lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy, weak stream, nocturia (waking at night to urinate), and incomplete bladder emptying—collectively disrupting sleep, daily activities, and quality of life.
