Urinary Flow

Understanding Urinary Flow

  • Overview:

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition among aging men, marked by the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. This enlargement can obstruct the flow of urine, leading to a range of bothersome urinary symptoms.

  • Impact:

BPH can significantly impact daily life, causing frequent and urgent trips to the bathroom, a weak or interrupted urine stream, and a sense of incomplete bladder emptying. These symptoms can disrupt sleep, work, and social activities, reducing overall quality of life.
