Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia What is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? BPH (also referred to as benign prostatic hypertrophy) is a condition in which the prostate gland becomes very enlarged and may cause problems associated with urination. BPH can raise PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels two to three times higher than the normal level. An increased PSA level does not indicate cancer, but the higher the PSA level, the higher the chance of having cancer. Some of the signs of BPH and prostate cancer are the same, however, having BPH does not seem to increase the chances of developing prostate cancer. A man who has BPH may also have undetected prostate cancer at the same time or may develop prostate cancer in the future. Therefore, the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society recommend that all men over 50 consult their physicians about having a digital rectal and PSA examination once a year to screen for prostate cancer. How does BPH occur?

More than 6 million men over age 55 nationwide have an enlarged prostate, which can cause problems with urination. Although prostate enlargement, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is non-cancerous, symptoms related to it can disrupt a man's quality of life. Symptoms of BPH include inability to completely empty the bladder, frequent or painful urination, weak or interrupted urine stream, incontinence, and the need to get up during the night to urinate. Despite the fact that awareness of the condition is low, an enlarged prostate is the most common health problem for men. "Many people do not require surgery to relieve symptoms from an enlarged prostate," says Michael J. Manyak, MD, professor and chairman of the department of urology. "Of the many options available today

Search Encyclopedia: List of Topics Print This Page  Endocrinology, Male Urology Enlarged Prostate Male reproductive anatomy BPH Prostatectomy - series TURP - series Definition: The prostate gland produces the liquid in which sperm are expelled from the penis during ejaculation. As the prostate enlarges, which happens to almost all men as they get older, it can press on the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder to the outside) causing problems with urination. Prostate enlargement is often called benign prostatic hypertrophy or hyperplasia (BPH). It is not cancer and it does not put you at increased risk for prostate cancer. Alternative Names: BPH; Benign prostatic hypertrophy (hyperplasia); Prostate - enlarged Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The actual cause of prostate enlargement is unknown. In addition to age, overgrowth of the prostate seems to require normal function of the testicles, which produce testosterone. This is known because men who have had their testicles removed at a young age (for example, for testicular cancer) do not develop BPH. Similarly, if the testicles are removed after a man develops BPH, the prostate begins to shrink in size. The likelihood of developing an enlarged prostate increases with age. In fact, BPH is so common that it has been said, "All men will have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough!" A small amount of prostate enlargement is present in many men over age 40 and more than 90% of men over age 80. No risk factors have been identified other than having normally functioning testicles.

111. Prescription Medicines - Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) BPH is an enlargement of the prostate, also known as benign Prostate hyperplasia (BPH). The word benign means the cells are not cancerous. http://www.boehringer-ingelheim.ca/ethical/benign.asp

BPH is an enlargement of the prostate, also known as Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). The word "benign" means the cells are not cancerous. "Hyperplasia" means an increased number of cells. The prostate gland is a small organ found only in men. It is located in front of the rectum, directly below the bladder. It also surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine flows. Because of its location, the prostate can have an impact on the ability to urinate. Symptomatic BPH is the term used when BPH produces actual urinary symptoms. In some cases, a man may have an enlarged prostate but not experience the symptoms of BPH.

112. Médicaments D'ordonnance - Hyperplasie Bénigne De La Prostate (HBP) http://www.boehringer-ingelheim.ca/francais/medic/benign.asp

HBP, ou hyperplasie bénigne de la prostate, est une augmentation du volume de la prostate. Le terme «bénigne» indique que les cellules ne sont pas cancéreuses, alors que «hyperplasie» signifie une augmentation du nombre de cellules. La prostate est un petit organe que l'on retrouve chez l'homme seulement. Elle est située à l'avant du rectum, directement sous la vessie. La prostate entoure l'urètre, conduit servant à évacuer l'urine. En raison de son emplacement, la prostate peut affecter la capacité à uriner. On fait référence à l'HBP symptomatique lorsqu'il y a des symptômes urinaires. Dans certains cas, un homme peut avoir une prostate plus volumineuse sans toutefois avoir les symptômes de l'HBP.
