An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that affects many men as they age. It occurs when the prostate gland grows larger and presses on the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis. This can cause problems with urination, such as difficulty starting or stopping, weak stream, frequent or urgent need, and incomplete emptying of the bladder.

In this video, I will reveal four foods that you should avoid if you have an enlarged prostate. These foods can worsen your symptoms and increase your risk of complications.
