Enlarged prostate measuring 5.3 cm transverse diameter

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in men as they age. It is caused by the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can lead to difficulty urinating. The prostate gland is located at the base of the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. As the prostate gland enlarges, it can put pressure on the urethra and make it difficult to urinate.

Symptoms of BPH can include:

* Difficulty starting to urinate

* Weak or slow urine stream

* Frequent urination, especially at night

* Feeling like you can't empty your bladder completely

* Dribbling urine

Treatment for BPH depends on the severity of the symptoms.

Treatment options may include:

* Medications to shrink the prostate gland

* Surgery to remove part of the prostate gland

* Laser therapy to destroy prostate tissue

* Minimally invasive therapies, such as water vapor therapy or microwave therapy

If you are experiencing symptoms of BPH, it is important to see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
