- Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection
Chronic urologic conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia, recurrent urinary tract infections, and urinary incontinence, are common in older adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgery should be reserved for patients who either have failed medical management or have complications from BPH, such as recurrent urinary tract infections, refractory urinary retention, bladder stones, or renal insufficiency as a result of obstructive [doi.org]

- Urinary Retention
We herein report a 17-year-old boy who presented with acute urinary retention due to BPH and was treated with endoscopic transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Purpose: We determined the effect of long-term treatment with finasteride on the incidence of acute urinary retention (AUR) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) related surgery in men with BPH. [doi.org]

By age 60, half of all men have an enlarged prostate. By age 80, about 80 percent of all men have an enlarged prostate. The prostate forms part of the male reproductive system and helps produce semen. It is located at the base of the male bladder. [uwhealth.org]
The risk of prostate cancer is no greater for men with an enlarged prostate than it is for men without an enlarged prostate. [nhs.uk]
Description What is benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)? Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, the gland that transports sperm during ejaculation. [bostonscientific.com]
- Nocturia
This indicates that Pygeum africanum resulted in a statistically significant moderate to large improvement in nocturia. [doi.org]
The possibility that the monthly period of nocturia is a general phenomenon and is coupled to a monthly menstrual period, and the implications for more accurate diagnosis and new modes of therapy, are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Urinary Incontinence
Chronic urologic conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia, recurrent urinary tract infections, and urinary incontinence, are common in older adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Surgery is sometimes required, but is associated with risks such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. [pharmaceutical-journal.com]
Overactive bladder is a condition in which the bladder muscles contract uncontrollably and cause urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and urinary incontinence. Antimuscarinics are a class of medications that relax the bladder muscles. [web.archive.org]
- Prostatic Disease
An increase in immunoreactive CK-BB or CK-BB activity in patients with prostatic disease has been proposed as an indication of prostatic adenocarcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
Primary care physicians are uniquely positioned to screen for BPH, conduct a timely diagnostic workup, and if indicated, initiate medical therapy. [mdedge.com]
EEG is required to distinguish myoclonic seizures from nonictal causes of myoclonus, which can arise from lesions of the cortex, brainstem, spinal cord, or even peripheral nerve (see Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]
In addition, peak urinary flow, voided volume, and symptoms may worsen over time in men with untreated BPH (see Workup ). The risk of AUR and the need for corrective surgery increases with age. [emedicine.com]
Cystoscopy
- Bladder Trabeculation
The false passage will disappear also on cystoscopy and IC can be safely restarted. 77 Other complications such as hydronephrosis, vesico-ureteral reflux, and bladder cancer seem to relate rather to infection, bladder trabeculation, detrusor pressure [doi.org]

Prognosis
Conclusion: In this study, we discussed important genetic markers in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients which may, in the future, be used as markers for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as targets for therapeutic intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Can prostatitis and BPH be cured (prognosis)? The prognosis for BPH for most patients that undergo treatment is good to fair, depending upon how well patients respond. [medicinenet.com]
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia varies from individual to individual. [dovemed.com]
Prognosis The prognosis depends heavily on the underlying etiology and the epilepsy syndrome. Patients with a benign syndrome typically respond well to medication and may outgrow their epilepsy. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Owing to the limited number of cases, the etiology and management of BPH in the first two decades is not clear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
The term LUTS describes a distinct phenotype and allows for a broad epidemiologic description of urinary symptoms at a population level. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiologic Risk Factors for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): The epidemiology of BPH is fairly constant, some genetic factors or environmental influences may modestly increase the risk for BPH. [urology-textbook.com]
Pathophysiology
In this study, we propose a novel and tested pathophysiological mechanism for the evolution of BPH and suggest a tested and effective treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be prevented? Researchers have not found a way to prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia. [web.archive.org]
The 5-α reductase inhibitors (finasteride and dutasteride) decrease serum concentrations of DHT [ 24 ] and prevent progression of clinical BPH [ 25 ]. However, it is not known whether finasteride or dutasteride will prevent incident BPH. [doi.org]
Can BPH be prevented or avoided? There is nothing you can do to prevent or avoid BPH. Recent studies have shown that increasing physical activity may help. It can lower the frequency of BPH symptoms. [familydoctor.org]
These classes of medications will often be used in combination to prevent urinary obstruction and ease symptoms. Medication doesn’t help everyone. [pcf.org]
Prevention and prostate health A symptom of BPH may be needing to urinate more than usual. According to the Urology Care Foundation, it may not be possible to prevent BPH from developing. [medicalnewstoday.com]
