A man with BPH has to urinate more often, especially at night, and experiences less force and caliber while urinating, often dribbling. If the prostate enlarges too much, urination is difficult or impossible, and the risk of urinary tract infection and kidney damage increases. A doctor can usually detect an enlarged prostate during a rectal exam. How is it treated?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the abnormal growth of benign prostate cells. In BPH, the prostate grows larger and presses against the urethra and bladder , interfering with the normal flow of urine More than half of the men in the United States between the ages of 60 and 70 and as many as 90 percent between the ages of 70 and 90 have symptoms of BPH. For some men, the symptoms may be severe enough to require treatment.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that often begins at about 40-45 years, due to hormonal changes that result in prostatic enlargment . The word “benign” means that the enlargement is not caused by cancer or infection. The word “hyperplasia” means enlargement. What is the prostate gland ? It is a walnut sized gland that is part of the male reproductive system. Where is the prostate gland located ? It is located below the bladder (the organ where urine is stored) and surrounds the upper portion of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) What is the function of the prostate gland ? It produces part of the semen in which sperm travel. What are the reasons for this enlargement ? The reasons are not entirely clear but ageing and hormonal changes appear to play an important role.

This enlargement constricts the urethra so the flow of urine is reduced, making it increasingly difficult to empty the bladder. The prostate gland The prostate is a gland about the size of a walnut that is only present in men. It is located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine flows from the bladder and out through the penis. Please see the diagram, overleaf. One of the main functions of the prostate is to produce an important liquefying component of semen, which allows the sperm to move freely. The gland is divided into three zones, peripheral, transitional and central. With BPH, it is the central part where overgrowth of cells takes place.

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. 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? to the left. ] In 2000, an expert committee suggested that the impact of such symptoms on quality of life, including sexual activity, is also important in assessment of the disease.

While rarely life threatening, bothersome irritative urinary symptoms like urgency, frequency, and nocturia, and obstructive ones like a weak stream, hesitancy, intermittency, and incomplete emptying occur in up to 70% of men aged 70 years and older. Community and practice based studies suggest that men can expect slow progression of the symptoms. However, these symptoms can wax and wane without

Other characters Benign prostatic hyperplasia, Clinical examination hydronephrosis hydroureter , recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder calculus , recurrent gross haematuria, and ultimately, renal failure . Fortunately, such complications are rare. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has traditionally been the "gold standard" of treatment for men with BPH. TURP represented 94% of all surgical procedures for BPH in 1996. Currently, however, TURP represents only one of a variety of treatment options available to men with BPH and/or LUTS. Alternative treatment options have emerged, including medical therapy with hydroureteronephrosis , ureteric tortuosity, bladder trabeculation, diverticula, elevation of the bladder base and an increased post-void residual urinary volume. Lower urinary tract changes such as trabeculation or diverticulum formation are best documented by cystoscopy. Ultrasound is preferred over intravenous urography (IVU) when determining postvoid residual volume. Determination of prostate size using IVU is inaccurate, while digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide more accurate estimates of prostatic volume. Traditionally, digital rectal examination (DRE) has been used to estimate prostate size prior to treatment. However, only the posterior surface of the prostate is accessible for examination. Due to the shape of the prostate as well as its location within the pelvis, an examiner is unable to ascertain the anterior  posterior extent of the gland by palpation. Thus, DRE consistently underestimates the size of the prostate when compared to local imaging modalities such as transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and MRI.

What are the side effects of BPH treatment? 1. What is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? BPH is the enlargement of the prostate, frequently occurring in men over the age of 50. The enlargement can result in a gradual squeezing of the urethra, sometimes causing difficulty in urinating. 2. What are the symptoms of BPH? Many men may not have any symptoms of BPH. If you do have symptoms, they may include: A weak urinary stream Difficulty starting urination Frequent urination Frequently awakening at night to urinate Blockage of the urethra from BPH may lead to repeated urinary tract infections, a sudden inability to urinate, or gradual bladder and/or kidney damage. Back to top 3. How is BPH diagnosed? Since the prostate lies in front of the rectum, your doctor will most likely perform a digital rectal examination (DRE) by inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum. By doing this, he or she will be able to feel the prostate and determine if it is enlarged or if it has lumps or other abnormalities. Many doctors perform a prostate exam for men over the age of 50, or over the age of 45 for those with risk factors for prostate cancer, such as family history or African-American ethnicity.

Ballentine Carter, M.D. Benign prostatic hyperplasia—also known as BPH or "enlarged prostate"—affects essentially all men as they get older. In this Special Report, we interview Hopkins BPH expert, Dr. H. Logan Holtgrewe, who explains the differences between the terms BPH and LUTS, or lower urinary tract symptoms. This distinction is not merely semantic, but influences the selection of appropriate treatment. Next, Dr. Holtgrewe explores in detail the various treatments for BPH, with attention to the current trend toward choosing non-surgical approaches first. Following each of these three sections is a series of questions from Prostate Bulletin subscribers, answered by the Bulletin's medical editor, H. Ballentine Carter, M.D. With this Special Report, prepared by renowned experts expressly for medical consumers like you, you get the most current, state-of-the-art thinking on the topic of BPH, with guidance and practical strategies you can follow for optimum long-term relief.
