    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Prostate health awareness and diagnostic practices evolve over time.
    • Understanding changes in patient presentation and management is crucial for BPH care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare prostate pathology awareness and management between two male populations surveyed two years apart.
    • To evaluate changes in symptomology, healthcare seeking behavior, and treatment outcomes for prostate conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative, survey-based study analyzing data from 2056 respondents (1st Week) and 2126 respondents (3rd Week).
    • Utilized questionnaires assessing prostate awareness, urinary complaints, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and patient history.
    • Compared data on age at first urologist visit, symptom duration, and prevalence of specific urinary symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • Increased urologist visits at an earlier age and longer symptom duration were observed.
    • Prevalent symptoms included decreased urinary stream, pollakiuria, and urgency.
    • A rise in visits by mildly symptomatic patients (IPSS < 8) and increased periodical revisions were noted.
    • Significant progress towards WHO diagnostic criteria for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) was demonstrated, with more patients receiving treatment and improved outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Comparative populational studies can track shifts in prostate health awareness, symptom levels, and quality of life.
    • Demonstrated improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for suspected BPH.
    • Suggests enhanced public awareness and earlier medical intervention contribute to better BPH management.
