Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland (only in men) leading to obstruction of the urethra and interference with free flow of urine. The prostate gland is a chestnut shaped organ, approximately the size of a walnut. It is just below the bladder, next to the rectum and surrounds the urethra (the urinary exit tube). The most obvious function of the prostate gland is to secrete a milky protein fluid which is discharged into the urethra at the time of the emission of semen.

BPH is so common that it has been said, "All men will have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough.".
