“Even though there [are] many therapies that one can do, it's not a sign of anything ominous for most men,” says Kevin T. McVary, MD, FACS.

In this episode, Urology Times® Assistant Editor Janelle Hart spoke with Kevin T. McVary, MD, FACS. He discusses the stigmas associated with enlargement of the prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia, and why more education is necessary to absolve these misconceptions. McVary is a professor of urology at the Stritch School of Medicine and director of the Center for Male Health at the Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois.
