The Journal of urology·1998

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) prevalence increases with age, causing urinary tract issues. Further research is needed to understand BPH development and its exact role in voiding dysfunction for better patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Increasing concern over clinical problems associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) due to aging populations.
  • BPH prevalence and incidence of secondary clinical issues are rising.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current knowledge on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
  • To identify gaps in understanding BPH development and its clinical impact.

Main Methods:

  • Review of selected published reports.
  • Utilized anatomical and clinical criteria to identify BPH and its sequelae.

Main Results:

  • BPH incidence rises with age.
  • BPH can cause significant urinary tract pathology and symptoms in some patients.

  • Other factors may cause voiding dysfunction in patients with BPH.

    • Conclusions:

    • Lack of essential information on BPH initiation and promotion factors.
    • Mechanisms by which BPH affects voiding require further elucidation.
    • Definitive diagnostic criteria for BPH's role in clinical changes are needed for improved management.
