\nBenign prostatic hyperplasia occurs when the prostate gland, a walnut-sized organ situated below the bladder, undergoes non-cancerous growth. As it enlarges, it can exert pressure on the urethra, leading to a variety of symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting or maintaining a steady stream, and a sense of incomplete bladder emptying. The challenges associated with BPH can significantly impact the quality of life for affected individuals, necessitating proactive management strategies.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3121″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Challenges Faced by Those with an Enlarged Prostate:<\/strong><\/p>\n
