From the doctors who brought you "Coping with Prostate Cancer," Drs. Seiden and Bilett explain BPH - Benigh Prostatic Hypertrophy and the differences between the conditions, what to look for and what can be done about them.

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, often called BPH, refers to enlargement of the prostate gland in men. It is also referred to as adenofibromyomatous hyperplasia, and is found in most men to some degree after the age of 45. Unfortunately most men will suffer some degree of BPH once they reach middle age or older. Enlarging prostatic growth usually begins at approximately age 30 years in otherwise healthy men, and an estimated 50% of men have evidence of BPH by age 50 years, and 75% by age 80 years. In only about 40% to 50% of these patients, does BPH become clinically significant.

Between 350,000 to 400,000 men a year in the United States will require some form of treatment to relieve their urinary obstruction caused by BPH.

Fortunately today this treatment offers options not available before the past two decades. Until the 1990s surgery was the primary treatment and radiation was coming into its prime. Today, there is quite effective medical treatment for this disorder.

It should be noted and emphasized that having BPH does NOT mean a man is more or less likely to get prostate cancer. BPH is not cancer and is in no way related physically or structurally to cancer. They are two very different diseases. Learn what you can do to improve your symptoms and live more comfortably. Learn the difference between the symptoms of BPH and Prostate Cancer. Become an informed patient so that you can help your doctor help you to live a much more comfortable life!
