Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland that might make you need to urinate more often, feel like you have to go right away, have a weak stream, or not empty your bladder completely.
It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, which makes it easier for urine to flow and lessens the symptoms of BPH.
