Summary
The benign enlargement of the prostate gland affects most men over the age of 60. An enlarged prostate interferes with the flow of urine from the bladder, which can produce mild to severe urinary obstruction.

After age 60, the number of men who experience urinary difficulties caused by prostate enlargement may exceed 70%. Autopsy studies show that 40% of men in their 50s are afflicted with benign prostate enlargement (Recker 1996).

Those afflicted with benign prostate disease have trouble urinating, or voiding, and are often overly sensitive to the presence of any residual urine in the bladder. Older men often must get up several times a night to urinate and still do not feel they have completely emptied their bladders. The relentless frustration of chronic urinary urgency is a major cause of sleep disturbance and the loss of quality of life as men age.

The acronym used to describe prostate enlargement is BPH, and this may be an abbreviation for either benign prostatic hyperplasia (meaning an increase in the number of cells in the prostate) or benign prostatic hypertrophy (meaning an increase in the size of the prostate gland). In medical literature, hyperplasia and hypertrophy are used interchangeably to define BPH.
