  • Urology
  • General Practice
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting aging men.
  • General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in initial patient assessment and management.
  • Clear referral guidelines are needed to optimize patient care pathways.

Purpose:

  • To establish clear guidelines for Generalists managing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
  • To define specific clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic criteria for referring patients to Urology.
  • To facilitate timely and appropriate specialist consultation for BPH patients.

Summary:

  • The guidelines outline when Generalists should refer patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) to Urology.
  • Referral is indicated for mild/severe symptoms, age <50, diabetes, neurological issues, voiding disturbances, palpable abnormalities on DRE, hematuria, UTIs, renal impairment, or PSA >4 ng/mL (age <70).
