Overview
The prostate is a small gland that goes through two main periods of growth: in puberty and around age 25. This second phase often results, years later, in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The tissue surrounding the prostate eventually restricts its expansion, causing the gland to press against the urethra and impede urination. More than half of men in their 60s and as many as 90% in their 70s have symptoms of BPH.
