About Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

“Figures show that by the age of 60, 50% of men will show signs of BPH”

Roughly half of these men will develop symptoms which will require treatment.
BPH is the most common prostate problem in men, and whilst it is benign, it can have symptoms similar to prostate cancer.
Mild symptoms may require no further treatment than continued observation by a Urologist. For more severe symptoms, there are various treatments on offer:
Medications
Surgery such as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
Laser Therapy (Green Light™ Laser Therapy)
Minimally Invasive Water Vaper Therapy (Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy)
