Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Treatment
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is when the prostate gland becomes larger with age. It is not cancer, but it can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as:
-
Needing to urinate more often
-
Weak or slow urine flow
-
Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
While BPH is not harmful in itself, it can affect your day-to-day life.
At PharmXtra, we offer effective treatments to help manage BPH symptoms safely and discreetly.
