&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also commonly known as prostate enlargement, is when the surrounding tissues and prostate expand. BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;The prostate is a walnut-size gland that supplies semen to help sperm travel and survive. It is located between the rectum and the base of the penis. And under the bottom of the bladder, there is the surrounding part of the urethra.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;It is one of the most common urological problems facing men as they age.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;As men age, the prostate will continue to grow. Men go through 2 periods of prostate growth, one during puberty and the second around the age of 25.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;The enlarged prostate will become a problem when it squeezes the urethra and causes a series of symptoms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Alpha-blockers are medication to help relax the prostate and bladder muscles.

&lt;hr /&gt;
