THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUES IN THE TREATMENT OF BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological condition affecting aging men, characterized by the noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. It often leads to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as urinary frequency, urgency, weak stream, and nocturia, significantly impacting quality of life. The prevalence of BPH increases with age, affecting approximately 50% of men aged 50 and older, and up to 90% of men by age 80.
