Three fundamental features of
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Hyperplasia
Symptoms
Obstruction
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Morphology of the
prostate gland
Why does Prostate enlarge ?
Multifactorial
Due to
1. Ageing
2. Presence of androgen
What is enlarged ?
1.
2.
Stromal nodules – smooth muscle &
connective tissue
Glandular hyperplasia
Compression
on the urethra
Detrusor instability (70%)
(Reduced parasympathetic innervation)
Frequency, urge
Lower urinary tract symptoms
(Prostatism)
Obstructive

Limits fluid intake before travel
Restricts fluid intake before bedtime
Cannot drive for 2 hours without a break
Disruption of sleep
Limits going to places without toilets

Avoids, e.g. going to cinema, theatre or
church
BPH
„
Mild disease
troublesome, major
source of discomfort

Severe disease
complications
impaired renal function
The symptoms of BPH may remain
unchanged or deteriorate only slowly
over time

glycoprotein whose function is to liquify
semen
produced exclusively by prostatic epithelium

Not an easy decision
Postoperative morbidity 15-16%
10-20% requires 2nd procedure within
10 years
Patients like less invasive method of
treatment
Shared Care for Prostatic
Disease
Family practitioners and urologists
working together to improve patient care
Patient’s Misunderstanding
BPH symptoms – ageing problem
∴ the problem remains neglected
underdiagnosed &
untreated
The need for family physicians
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
↑patient volume
Seek for better quality of
life
Effective medical
treatment
↑patient awareness
Prostate health check
Alertness for prostatic
cancer
7.
Encourage by
government &
insurance companies
Treatment
Role of family physicians
„

Mild-to-moderate symptoms of BPH
are extremely prevalent

treatment (TURP)

Urinary tract symptoms
Family Physician
Detecting Prostatic Disease
Ask three questions
1.

3.
Do you get up at night to pass urine ?
Is your urinary stream reduced?
Are you bothered by bladder symptoms?
Yes – two out the three questions

reassurance
•
•
•
•
•
• IPSS and history
• DRE/abdominal examination
• Urinalysis (if positive take urine
microscopy culture)
• PSA estimation
• PVR and flow rate, if possible
High symptom score
Abnormal DRE
Palpable bladder
History of recurrent UTI/haematuria
PSA abnormal
Refer to urologist
•
•
•
•
Flow rate
PVR urine measurement
Urodynamic studies
TRUS and biospy
Surgical treatment if clearly
obstructed and ‘bothered by
symptoms
