Enlargement of the prostate gland is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
BPH occurs when the cells of your prostate gland begin to multiply and squeezes the urethra. This blocks your urine flow out of the bladder causing urinary problems.
Prostatectomy involves the removal of a part or all of the prostate. Transurethral resection of the prostate is a procedure that inserts an instrument in the penis and removes the prostate tissue.
