Prostatic hyperplasia is a disease that women do not have, but in men, the incidence starts to increase from the 50s, about 60% of men in their 60s, 70% in their 70s, And in the 80s, more than 90% of men develop symptoms of prostate hyperplasia.

Eventually, this prostate hyperplasia is a condition in which most men suffer from the disease.

The prostate is a walnut-like tissue that surrounds the urethra that starts from the bladder.

This prostatic hyperplasia is a symptom that progresses slowly and does not show sudden symptoms. However, in spite of the severe condition, if left unattended, the kidneys may be impaired, causing uremia.

The cause of the enlargement of the prostate is not clearly understood, but it is seen as a symptom that appears in old age, and the decline of energy is seen as the main cause. Originally, the disease was common among Westerners in the past, but the recent outbreak in Asians seems to be linked to the fact that there is a cause for food life.

In particular, it seems to be related to excessive consumption of fat and sugar.

Drug therapy has recently developed a number of effective drugs that can effectively improve symptoms in cases of mild symptoms.

In addition, there has been great progress in surgical therapy, and in the past, the incision was directly applied to the affected area, but recently, a transurethral resection (TVR) was developed to utilize safe, fast, and highly effective surgical methods.
