Urinary problems? You have come to the right place…

  • Are you a man over age 50?
  • Do you have urinary problems—such as a weak urine stream and frequent urination, especially at night?
  • Do you believe that these bothersome urinary symptoms are a natural part of aging and cannot be treated?
  • Do you also ignore urinary symptoms because you fear prostate cancer?

If you answer “yes” to any or all of the above, you have come to the right place—understandbph.com. And we have good news for you.

First, if you are over age 50, your urinary problems are most likely a treatable condition called enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Second, BPH does not lead to prostate cancer.

Third, if you get treated for BPH, you can have a normal life again!

Fourth, understandbph.com is designed to help you learn more about BPH, including its treatment.

You may already know about treatment with either pills or traditional surgery. If you don’t, we discuss them. We also want to introduce you to office-based minimally invasive treatments (MITs). understandbph.com highlights MITs because they provide significant symptom relief, a low rate of side effects, and a quick return to an active lifestyle. We also present information on the newest treatment for BPH— Holmium laser surgery.
