BPH
● Affects half of men older than 40 years of age and 50% of men older than 60 years of age
● Manifestations are those of urinary obstruction, urinary retention, and urinary tract
infections
● Develops over a period of time; changes in urinary tract slow and insidious
● Symptoms depend on severity: dysuria, hesitancy, sensation of incomplete bladder
emptying
TREATMENT
● Pharmacologic: alpha-adrenergic blockers, alpha- adrenergic antagonists, and
antiandrogen agents
● Catheterization if unable to void
● Prostate surgery
MANAGEMENT OF BPH
● The goal of medication for BPH is to reestablish uninhibited urine flow out of the bladder
● Medical treatment
● Alpha-adrenergic blockers (relaxes muscle tissue in the neck of the bladder to improve
urine flow)
● 5-alpha reductase inhibitor such as finasteride improve urine flow and also reduce the
size of the prostate
● Measures to reduce pain and spasms
● Catheter for acute condition; unable to void
● Surgical treatment
