These symptoms might be a benign prostatic disease or we called it in a medical word “Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.” Basically, we’ve suspected this condition mostly in male whose age 50 years old up. There are 3 fulfilled requirements for this condition.
- Male having the prostate gland – BPH will not occur in females or in males with genetic conditions causing absent prostatic tissue.
- Male possessing androgen (male hormone) – Androgen is an essential hormone driving prostatic growth. Classical literature shows that males with androgen insufficiency syndrome from birth do not develop BPH.
- Aging progress – Extensive literature consistently identifies aging as the fundamental trigger for BPH. The prostate gland increases in both cell number and cell size over time, which is why prostate size measurement is part of the diagnostic workup.
From papers in the U.S., BPH affects 50% of men aged 50 and over, 70% between 60–69 years old, and more than 80% of men aged 70 and above. While BPH cannot be fully prevented, we can delay and reduce its progression by managing the following modifiable risk factors.
- Metabolic syndrome – Strong evidence shows that hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia significantly increase prostate size.
- Obesity – Obesity appears to increase oxidative stress particles within prostatic tissue, contributing to gland enlargement.
Some medical complications can be occurred from BPH, for example; 膀胱感染症 または 急性尿閉。さらに質問がある場合、またはディスカッションを行う必要がある場合は、テキストメッセージまたはPMでお気軽にご連絡ください 私、最初は。

Frequently Asked Questions about Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects men aged 50 and above. As the prostate grows, it compresses the urethra, causing urinary symptoms such as weak stream, frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. BPH affects approximately 50% of men in their 50s and over 80% of men in their 70s.
BPH requires three conditions: the presence of a prostate gland, androgen (male hormone) activity, and the aging process. Androgens drive prostate cell growth, and cumulative aging leads to progressive enlargement. Metabolic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity are modifiable risk factors that can accelerate prostate enlargement.
No. BPH is a benign (non-cancerous) condition involving prostate gland enlargement. It does not turn into prostate cancer and is not a precancerous lesion. However, both conditions can exist simultaneously and can share similar urinary symptoms, so a proper urological evaluation including PSA testing and physical examination is important to differentiate them.
BPH cannot be fully prevented since aging and androgen exposure are unavoidable, but progression can be delayed. Managing metabolic syndrome, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling blood pressure and blood sugar, and staying physically active all reduce the risk of accelerated prostate growth. Medical treatment and surgery can effectively manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Untreated BPH can lead to significant complications including acute urinary retention (sudden inability to urinate), recurrent bladder infections due to incomplete bladder emptying, bladder stone formation, bladder wall thickening and dysfunction, and in severe cases, kidney damage from chronic urinary obstruction. Early consultation with a urologist helps prevent these complications.
