Increase in growth of cells a gland below the urinary bladder males?
BPH is a non-cancerous condition that affects many men as they age. It is caused by an increase in the number of cells in the prostate gland, which can lead to a narrowing of the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis). This can cause difficulty urinating, a weak urine stream, and other symptoms.
In some cases, BPH can be treated with medications that help to shrink the prostate gland or relax the muscles around the urethra. In other cases, surgery may be necessary to remove part of the prostate gland and relieve the symptoms of BPH.
