Do you know why BPH is so called? Because, the prostate keeps on growing and is a common phenomenon. Infact there are 2 bursts of growth for prostate, one during puberty when the prostate almost doubles its size and the then from age 25 years onwards. Only when the enlarged prostate compresses on the urethra and causes symptoms  does it require intervention
