Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects most men over 80, causing lower urinary tract symptoms and impacting quality of life. New treatments are emerging, shifting focus to primary care monitoring and shared decision-making.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gerontology
  • Men's Health

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.
  • It results from benign prostatic enlargement, leading to outlet obstruction and lower urinary tract symptoms.
  • BPH significantly impacts the quality of life for approximately one in three men over 50.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • To discuss evolving medical and surgical treatment options.
  • To highlight the role of primary care in managing BPH.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical studies and treatment guidelines.
  • Analysis of the impact of BPH on patient quality of life.
  • Evaluation of the efficacy and morbidity of current and emerging BPH therapies.

Main Results:

  • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains a standard but has significant morbidity (17%) and some mortality.
  • New medical and surgical interventions are challenging TURP's dominance.
  • Primary care plays a crucial role in monitoring patients on watchful waiting and medical therapy, and post-operatively.

Conclusions:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a complex condition with significant health implications for aging men.
  • The management of BPH is evolving, with new treatments offering alternatives to traditional surgery.
  • Integrated care models involving primary care are essential for effective BPH management.
