Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C,D,G

C.   Increased urinary frequency is a key symptom of BPH due to pressure on the urethra, making it more difficult to empty the bladder completely.
D.   Hesitancy in starting urine flow is common in BPH due to the obstruction of the urethra by the enlarged prostate.
E.   Hematuria is not a typical finding of BPH, though it can sometimes occur if the prostate is irritated.
