Are you suffering from BPH
(Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)?

Do you have difficulty starting to urinate? Do you have to get up several times during the night to urinate?

If you are experiencing difficult or frequent urination, you may be suffering from an enlarged prostate. You are not alone. Enlarged prostate, also called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition affecting millions of men worldwide. The prostate grows in size in all men over 45 to 50 years of age.  For 25% of Australian men over 55, and for 50% of Australian men over 75, the prostate increases enough to cause difficulty in passing urine.
