Market Need
BPH, or enlarged prostate, is a noncancerous growth of the cells within the prostate gland. A common condition, BPH affects about 50% of men over the age of 50 and 80% over the age of 80. Symptoms include a weak or slow urinary stream, a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, delay in starting urination, frequent urination, and urinary urgency.
Traditionally, BPH symptoms have been treated with medication or with invasive surgery such as prostatectomy. These treatment options have numerous shortcomings.
