It is a condition in men that causes non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland and the tissue that surrounds it. The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland located just below the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. The pathological enlargement of this gland is also called benign prostatic obstruction or benign prostatic hypertrophy.
