What is an enlarged prostate gland?

In some men, the Prostate Gland may become enlarged. The causes can be due to a cancer, or a benign condition. The benign condition is called Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, or BPH.

In the case of cancer, there will be a whole range of treatments available. In the case of BPH, there may be no treatment offered if there are no symptoms present; there are also drugs available as well as other treatments that can be used if there are symptoms. As it is a physiological enlargement, lifestyle, diet changes and use of herbs are of benefits.
