Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also called an enlarged prostate, is incredibly common, especially among men over 40. While it's not the same as prostate cancer, an enlarged prostate can cause significant quality of life issues.
Dr. Scott Cheney, a Mayo Clinic urologist, says there are ways to treat it and reduce the symptoms, including some lifestyle changes.
Enlarged prostate symptoms can include frequent or urgent urination, a weak urine stream and the inability to empty your bladder. If you suffer from any of those symptoms, Dr. Cheney first recommends a few lifestyle modifications and to talk to your healthcare team about your concerns. An enlarged prostate also can be treated effectively with medications or procedures.
