Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition causing urinary outlet obstruction in older men. This review covers BPH causes, diagnosis, and current medical and surgical treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Urology

Background:

  • Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is the most frequent cause of bladder outlet obstruction in aging males.
  • BPH significantly impacts quality of life and urinary function in the geriatric population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
  • To discuss the prevalence, pathophysiology, natural history, and management options for BPH.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of BPH prevalence, pathophysiology, and natural history.
  • Analysis of diagnostic work-up and indications for intervention.
  • Review of current medical and surgical treatment modalities for BPH.

Main Results:

  • BPH is highly prevalent in older men, leading to outlet obstruction.
