BPH. Aging and the enlarged prostate

Description

As they get older, most men will experience benign prostatic hyperplasia, a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland. This program offers timely facts about a condition frequently left undiscussed until severe urinary discomfort forces the sufferer to the doctor's office. The symptoms of BPH, current drug and surgical interventions, and future treatment options are all covered, as well as the life-saving importance of an annual prostate exam for men over 50. Commentary is provided by Dr. Claus Roehrborn, of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Dr. J. Curtis Nickel, of Kingston General Hospital, Ontario.
