Introduction

BPH is a disease typically occuring in old age. Although the Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) do not necessarily indicate life endangerment, they do have a considerable impact on quality of life. LUTS caused by BPH normally begin after the age of 40. 50–60 year old men mostly experience mild symptoms and 30%-40% of the the over 60s encounter medium and strong symptoms which interfere with everyday life.
