Risk Factors

There are three factors that increase your risk of developing BPH:

• Age – Starting at age 45, the risk of developing BPH increases.
• Family History – If any immediate blood relative was diagnosed with BPH, you are more likely to develop the condition.
• Medical Conditions – Some research indicates that conditions such as obesity may contribute to the development of BPH.
