It is the most common pathology of the prostate gland in men, affecting more than 50% of men over 50 years of age and can reach a prevalence of 88% by the age of 90.

Early diagnosis and treatmentis important in order to avoid complications derivedfrom this obstruction of the urinary tract such as acute urinary retention, the appearance of bladder stones or even, in advanced cases, renal failure.
Lower urinary tract obstruction due to BPH is manifested by the appearance of voiding (obstructive) micturition symptoms, such as difficulty in initiating urination, a weak and short urinary stream, the sensation of not completely emptying the bladder, as well as by the presence of filling (irritative) symptoms, including increased frequency and urgency of urination, with or without associated leakage, and nocturia (frequent awakening at night to urinate).
