Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
Treatment
If BPH is left untreated, urine can back up into the kidneys, leading to kidney damage and failure, and weakening of the bladder muscle so that it is not strong enough to expel all the urine.
Treatment options for BPH include surgery and medicine to reduce the amount of tissue and increase the flow of urine.
