  What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate adenoma? Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (or prostate adenoma) is the non-malignant growth of prostate tissue that occurs in middle-aged men onwards. In a young individual, the prostate gland is rudimentary, almost undetectable, and spreads like a cluster of seeds over the lining of the urinary tract. However, at puberty, this anatomy begins to change due to the high production of the hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, explains the  Best Urologist in Delhi . Testosterone causes “seeds”, called  acini , to germinate and grow. Thus, in adult life, and due to their growth and proliferation, these small glandular structures can cause obstructive symptoms associated with urinary flow disorders. Benign Prostate Hyperplasia is one of the most common diseases in men and is considered part of the physiological aging process. The incidence of this disease is 51% in men 60 to 69 years of age and 75 to 90% in the eighth decade, says
