title: Benign prostatic hyperplasia.
abstract: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition, which increases with increasing age. Although not a life-threatening condition, BPH can significantly affect quality of life. BPH manifests clinically with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and may be associated with sexual dysfunction. As many as 60% of men aged 60 years have some degree of clinical BPH. With the projected increases in the distribution of people over the age of 60, BPH isset to become an even greater problem in men's health.
