According to the American National Institute of health, BPH affects more than 50% of men over the age of 60 and as many as 90% of men over the age of 70.

Only around 10% of men with BPH need drug or surgical treatment for their symptoms.

BPH usually starts in late 20s-30s, but symptoms do not occur until after the age of 50.

The prostate enlargement in BPH is not malignant (it’s non-cancerous).

The only risk factor known is having normal functioning testicles.

The chance of developing BPH increases with age.
