Benign prostatic hyperplasia is defined as a common age-related, nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate gland.
Presentation
This study reports for the first time that post-coital gross hematuria is one of the clinical presentations of BPH, which can be successfully treated with 5alpha-reductase inhibitor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Several noncontrolled studies of hypogonadal men found some evidence of increases in disordered breathing events during testosterone therapy but with wide variability in the extent of sleep disturbances between individuals ( Appendix C ). [web.archive.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]
After surgery, the prostate, urethra, and surrounding tissues may be irritated and swollen, causing urinary retention. To prevent urinary retention, a urologist inserts a Foley catheter so urine can drain freely out of the bladder. [web.archive.org]

Enlargement of the Prostate
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is defined as a common age-related, nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate gland. [symptoma.com]
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a progressive, androgen-dependent disease resulting in enlargement of the prostate gland and urinary obstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Enlarged prostate (BPH) definition and facts The prostate gland produces a fluid that becomes part of the semen. Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, involves enlargement of the prostate gland. [medicinenet.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]
Urinary incontinence. As the bladder returns to normal, men may have some temporary problems controlling urination. However, long-term urinary incontinence rarely occurs. [web.archive.org]
Surgery is sometimes required, but is associated with risks such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. [pharmaceutical-journal.com]
Analyses of urgency urinary incontinence at all time points were based only on patients with urgency urinary incontinence at baseline (urgency urinary incontinence episodes 0 per 24 hours). [doi.org]
Most Transient SUI After HoLEP Resolves Within 6 Weeks Of patients who had transient stress urinary incontinence after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, 88.6% experienced resolution of the incontinence within 6 weeks after the procedure. [renalandurologynews.com]

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]
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]

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]

Etiology
Little is known about their etiologies except that studies have suggested a substantial heritable component. Our objective is to provide a comprehensive, genome-wide evaluation of inherited risks and possible mechanisms of etiology in BPH. [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]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology is a complex interrelated sequence of events involving stromal and epithelial growth changes. [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]
Strategies to prevent or delay the need for surgery, such as regular examinations, testing, and use of pharmacotherapy where indicated, may further reduce the need for surgical intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
