Prostatism is the condition of having symptoms resulting from compression or obstruction of the urethra due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
What is benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Benign prostatic hyperplasia—also called BPH—is a condition in men in which the prostate gland is enlarged and not cancerous. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is also called benign prostatic hypertrophy or benign prostatic obstruction. The prostate goes through two main growth periods as a man ages.
Prostatism, more recently termed 'lower urinary tract symptoms', is extremely common in older men. Symptoms are generally related to bladder voiding function and may include nocturia, increased urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy, intermittency, weak stream and incomplete bladder emptying.
