| Abstract |
|---|
The prevalence of symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in Europe varies from 14% for men in their fourth decade to more than 40% in their sixth. Assuming an overall prevalence of symptomatic BPH of 30%, in the UK, would mean that approximately 4 million men aged more than 40 years suffer from the condition.
