Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Treatment
MercyOne's Dr. Steven Thoma addresses male BPH symptoms and the treatments available including Prostatic Urethral Lift.
The prostate is a gland that is only found in men. It is located just below the bladder surrounding the urethra, which carries urine from the bladder to the penis. Some men over the age of 50 have an enlarged prostate. One of the reasons for an enlarged prostate is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is not a form of prostate cancer and does not lead to prostate cancer. For some men with BPH, the enlarged prostate puts pressure on the urethra.
