Literature review on Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy was collected on studies done Globally, Regionally and Nationally. It was indicative that a lot of men after the age of 45years had BPH without them knowing until the situation had worsened 10 years or later. It was also observed that the pain the patient experienced could have been prevented. Assessing the men's awareness towards BPH was necessary because it would help these men understand and adopt good practices and reduce the risk of cancer and death from such a condition. The study was conducted on 310 elderly men above the age of 50 years, a random cross section study design was used for sample selection, This took place from January to august2024 at BMC . A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. After collecting the data, All data will be cleaned, entered, processed by Microsoft excel and analyzed with IBM SPSS version 25, Results will be presented into percentages, frequencies, cumulative frequencies, tables and graphs. The study revealed that the majority (64.5%) of the 310respondents had a knowledge of BPH while (35.5 %%) of the respondents was not awareness towards BPH.. This indicated that the male's lack of knowledge affected them either positively or negatively for them to seek help and acquire the necessary care. The literature also revealed that age was a major predisposing factor to BPH, while the majority of the respondents were agreeable and accepted the condition as inevitable.
