Subscribe now >> Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Causes, Symptoms and Diagnosis The Prostate Gland The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The gland is made of two lobes, or regions, enclosed by an outer layer of tissue. The prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, where urine is stored. The prostate also surrounds the urethra, the canal through which urine passes out of the body. Scientists do not know all the prostate's functions. One of its main roles, though, is to squeeze fluid into the urethra as sperm move through during sexual climax. This fluid, which helps make up semen, energizes the sperm and makes the vaginal canal less acidic. BPH: A Common Part of Aging It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. Doctors call the condition benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy.

The newspaper accurately reported the findings of a large well-conducted randomised controlled trial (2). The news that combination therapy with doxazosin and finasteride reduces the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia getting worse was reported by the Daily Telegraph on 18 December 2003 (1). The newspaper report was based on a large randomised controlled trial in men aged 50 and over taking doxazosin or finasteride singly or in combination (2, 3). When compared with placebo the risks of overall clinical progression were significantly reduced by doxazosin and finasteride each used on their own, but combination therapy led to a greater reduction. The newspaper report gave a brief but accurate summary of this well-conducted trial but did not report on adverse events associated with the treatments.

BPH stands for benign prostatic hyperplasia which means a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. "Benign" refers to the fact that the growth is noncancerous. The term "prostatic" refers to the prostate gland. "Hyperplasia" describes a condition in which the number of cells in an organ increases, leading to an overall increase in size of the prostate. The prostate gland is an acorn-shaped gland located in a man's pelvic region. It lies below the bladder , the sac that stores the urine in the body, and surrounds part of the urethra , the "tube" through which the urine passes from the bladder to the outside world. An enlarged prostate gland is a common condition, affecting the lifestyles and, to some degree, the health of many men over the age of 60. It can play havoc on a man's ability to urinate with ease and, in some cases, can lead to serious medical complications. However, the condition is not cancerous.

Home Medical Reference Patient Education Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia WHAT IS BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA? Definition of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Hyperplasia is a general medical term referring to excess cell replication. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is noncancerous growth of the prostate gland [ see Box ]. It is the most common noncancerous form of cell growth in men and usually begins with microscopic nodules in younger men. It should be noted that BPH is not a precancerous condition. Prostate cancer usually occurs in the outer area of the prostate, called the peripheral zone. The prostate gland is an organ that surrounds the urinary urethra in men. It secretes fluid which mixes with sperm to make semen. The urethra carries urine from the bladder and sperm from the testes to the penis. As BPH progresses, overgrowth occurs in the central area of the prostate called the transition zone, which wraps around the urethra (the tube that carries urine through the penis). This pressure on the urethra can cause lower urinary symptoms that have been the basis for diagnosing BPH. [ See What Are Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms?

Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in middle aged and elderly men. BPH can cause bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to obstructions of the urethra and gradual loss of bladder function. These symptoms like frequent need to urinate (particularly at night), urgency and leaking or dribbling, or delayed start of voiding with an interrupted weak stream, disrupt the activity and sleep patterns of the sufferers, thus drastically affecting their quality of life. The incidence of BPH increases with age. Symptomatic BPH in general occurs in approximately 25% of men aged 40 years or over and in one of every three men over 65 years of age. Although surgery can reduce the problems, most patients prefer initial drug therapy, which can delay and maybe even avoid the need for an operation. Alpha Receptor Blockers have been established as a standard first line therapy of BPH symptoms.

Grayhack, M.D. Department of Urology, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, Illinois Introduction Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been known to most of us by name or effect since we were young because of the role it has in altering voiding (emptying the bladder) in older men. While we are well aware of its psychological and social impact, most people have a limited understanding of what BPH is, where and why it develops, why it affects urination, whether it produces any significant health risk, what can be done to alter and/or control its effects, and when treatment should be considered. What is the prostate? The prostate is an accessory sex gland of the male, just as the breast is an accessory sex gland of the female. The function of the prostate is to provide a biochemically complex fluid vehicle for the sperm. Neither the prostate nor its secretions are required for fertilization of human ova. Furthermore no important systemic physiologic effects result from removal of the entire prostate. Anatomically the prostate is the "guard at the gate" of the bladder. The gland surrounds the urethra, which transports urine from the bladder to the outside. It is situated between the neck of the bladder proximally and the urogenital diaphragm, containing the external urinary sphincter, distally. Paired ejaculatory ducts formed from a fusion of the vas deferens and the ducts of the seminal vesicle enter the prostate at its base and empty into the urethra near its distal third. The prostate is made up of several different tissues including smooth muscle, fibroblasts and a variety of epithelial cells. A concentration of smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts forms a capsule-like wrapping of the exterior of the prostate. Internally the prostate is divided into several zones that have different risks of developing pathology.
