What is benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which the prostate tissue is enlarged and causes urination disorders.

Clinically, it may cause abnormal prostate size due to androgen and its receptors, imbalance of cell proliferation and apoptosis, etc., causing urination dysfunction, such as frequent urination, urgency of urination, waiting for urination, etc.

For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, doxazosin and terazosin can be taken under the doctor's advice to relax urethral smooth muscle and help improve symptoms. Patients can also take transurethral resection of prostate, transurethral prostatectomy, etc.
