    The document discusses benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), a common non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in older men. It notes that BPH affects over 50% of men between 60-90 years old, with about 30 million men worldwide experiencing symptoms related to BPH such as difficulty urinating. BPH occurs when microscopic nodules form around glands in the prostate, causing the prostate to enlarge and compress the urethra, restricting urine flow. While the exact cause is uncertain, it is likely multifactorial and possibly related to hormones. Physical exams, urine tests, and imaging can diagnose BPH, and treatments include medications to reduce prostate size or surgery to remove part of the prostate

    Benign Prostatic

    Hypertrophy

    The Prostate
    Pyramidal shaped, fibromuscular, and
    glandural organ.
    Walnut-sized gland, 3cm long.
    Located anterior to the rectum, distal to
    the urinary bladder.

    Zones of Prostate

    Definition and
    Epidemiology
    Benign prostatic hypertrophy or
    hyperplasia (BPH) is a histologic
    diagnosis characterized by proliferation
    of the cellular elements of the prostate.
    Incidence
    >50% in men between 60-90 y.o
    30 million men worldwide have
    symptoms related to BPH.

    Pathophysiology
    Development of microscopic stromal
    nodules around periurethral
    glands glandular hyperplasia gland
    increases in size and compresses the
    urethra urinary obstruction.
    Uncertain aetiology multifactorial,
    hormonal (?).

    Investigation
    Physical Examination
    Bladder distension
    Sensory and motor deficits
    Rectal toucher : gland size

    Urinalysis, urine culture


    Prostate spesific antigen
    Electrolytes, BUN, and creatinine
    Ultrasonography, transrectal
    ultrasonography
    Uroflowmetry

    Management
    Non-surgical treatment
    -adrenergic blockers
    Antiandrogens acting selectively at
    prostatic cellular lebel
    Intermittent self-catheterization
    Balloon dilatation and stenting of
    prostate

    Surgical treatment
    Prostatectomy
    TURP
