Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH is one of the most common ailments faced by men as they age. In fact, 50% of all men between 50-60 years of age, 75% of men in their seventh decade of life, and 90% of men over 80 will be affected to some extent by changes in their prostate.

This leads to the common lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that bring men with BPH to the doctor.
