Disease/Condition Glossary

Benign prostatic hyperplasia: The prostate is a small, muscular gland in the male reproductive system which surrounds the urethra. Benign prostatic hyperplasia occurs due to non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells. Benign prostatic hypertrophy/hyperplasia mostly occurs in older men. This causes the prostate gland to swell, which leads to the squeezing of the urethra and limits the urine flow. The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia include painful urination, difficulty in urination, excess urination, incomplete urination, leakage of urine, dribbling at the end of the urinary stream, and urgency in urination. An enlarged prostate is a normal condition of men ageing due to changes in male sex hormones.
