Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a health issue that becomes more common with age. It's also called an enlarged prostate. The prostate is a small gland that helps make semen. It's found just below the bladder. And it often gets bigger as you get older. An enlarged prostate can cause symptoms that may bother you, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It also can cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems.
Common symptoms of BPH include:
.Frequent or urgent need to pee, also called urination.
.Peeing more often at night.
.Trouble starting to pee.
.Weak urine stream, or a stream that stops and starts.
.Dribbling at the end of urination.
.Not being able to fully empty the bladder.
