Over the course of a man’s lifetime, there is a good chance he may have to deal with symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.  Beginning at around age 25, the prostate can begin to enlarge.  This natural progression has a name – benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH – and is considered the most common cause of prostate enlargement.  BPH is not the same thing as prostate cancer but rather is a benign or noncancerous condition that does not lead to cancer, even though the two conditions can coexist.
