UNDERSTANDING BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (BPH) – DO NOT OVERLOOK MEN’S HEALTH

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign enlargement of the prostate, is one of the most common urological conditions affecting middle-aged and elderly men. According to statistics published by Sức khỏe & Đời sống (Health & Life) Newspaper – the official media outlet of the Ministry of Health, approximately 50% of men aged 50 suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia, and this figure rises to 70% among men over the age of 70. These numbers highlight the importance of early awareness and screening.

What is benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a condition in which the prostate gland gradually increases in size over time, most commonly affecting men after middle age. Although BPH is a benign condition and not cancer, failure to detect and manage it properly can lead to significant discomfort and negatively impact quality of life.

Why does benign prostatic hyperplasia cause urinary symptoms?

As the prostate enlarges, the overgrown tissue compresses the urethra—the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This compression obstructs urine flow and leads to a range of bothersome urinary symptoms, including:

• Difficulty urinating and the need to strain.
• Weak or intermittent urine stream.
• A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying with residual urine remaining in the bladder.

These symptoms often progress gradually, causing many men to underestimate their severity and live with the condition for years without seeking medical care, thereby increasing the risk of complications.

Early screening – A key solution for protecting men’s health

According to medical specialists, early screening and timely intervention play a crucial role in controlling benign prostatic hyperplasia. Early management helps alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and significantly improve quality of life, especially for middle-aged and older men.

Experts recommend that men who experience urinary symptoms proactively visit reputable medical facilities for examination, consultation, and the development of an appropriate treatment plan.
