(BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA)

A. Definition
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) also known as benign prostatic
hypertrophy is a histologic diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular
elements of prostate. Chronic Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO) secondary to BPH
may lead to urinary retention, renal insufficiency, recurrent urinary tract infection,
gross hematuria, bladder calculi.

B. Signs and Symptoms

When the prostate enlarges, it may coustrict the flow of urine. Nerves within
the prostate and bladder may also play a role in causing the following common
symptoms:
1. Urinary frequency.
2. Urinary urgency.
3. Nocturia
Needing to get up frequently at night to urinate.
4. Hesitancy
Difficulty intiating the urinary stream; interrupted, weak stream.
5. Incomplete bladder emptying
The feeling of persistent residual urine, regardless of the frequency of
urination.
6. Straining
Need strain or push (valsava maneuver) to initiate and maintain urination in
order to more fully evacuate the bladder.
7. Decrease force of stream
 The subjective loss of force of the urinary over time.
8. Dribbling
The loss of small amounts of urine due to a poor urinary stream as well as
weak urinary stream.

C. Etiology/Cause of BPH
Cause of BPH is not well understood, however it occurs mainly in older men.
It caused by changes in hormone balance and in cell growth.

D. Prevention

1. Practice “double voiding”. Urinate as much as you can, relax for a few
moments, and then urinate again.

2. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. They make your body try to get
rid of water and can make you urinate more often.

3. If possible, avoid medicines that can make urination

difficult, such as over the counter antihistamines,
decongestants (incluiding nasal sprays), and allergy pills.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist about the
medicines you take.
