What is the life expectancy of someone with benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an exceptionally common condition, affecting over 50% of men over 50 years old. Unlike prostate cancer, BPH itself is not life-threatening and, with appropriate medical care, does not reduce the life expectancy of someone with benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH. The key to a long, healthy life is effective management and attention to potential complications.
