Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) becomes increasingly common as men age, especially after age 50. The precise cause is not known but probably involves changes induced by hormones, especially testosterone Some Trade Names DELATESTRYL DEPOTESTOSTERONE As the prostate enlarges, it gradually compresses the urethra and blocks the flow of urine (urinary obstruction). When a man with BPH urinates, the bladder may not empty completely. Consequently, urine stagnates in the bladder, making the man susceptible to kidney stones and urinary tract infections. Prolonged obstruction can damage the kidneys.

(BPH) The prostate is a gland the size of a chestnut. It is only present in men, and it is situated under the bladder surrounding the urethra, the passageway that takes the urine to the outside. The gland produces seminal fluid, which is mixed with sperm to make semen. With age, the gland may begin to grow - this happens to most men. The growth may eventually cause problems with urination, because the gland pinches off the urethra as it increases its size. The growth in itself is harmless and so the condition is called benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). It occurs most often in men over the age of 60. Up to 30 per cent of men in their 70s have BPH that causes them symptoms.

B ecause of the aging of the U.S. population in general and the "baby boomers" in particular, the prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is increasing. Recent studies have shown that more than 80 percent of men older than 80 years have BPH. When symptoms of urinary obstruction interfere with quality of life, treatment is warranted. Medications that can increase obstructive urinary symptoms include tricyclic antidepressants and other anticholinergic agents, diuretics, narcotics, and first-generation antihistamines and decongestants.

BPH (also referred to as benign prostatic hypertrophy) is a condition in which the prostate gland becomes very enlarged and may cause problems associated with urination. BPH can raise PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels two to three times higher than the normal level. An increased PSA level does not indicate cancer, but the higher the PSA level, the higher the chance of having cancer. Some of the signs of BPH and prostate cancer are the same, however, having BPH does not seem to increase the chances of developing prostate cancer. A man who has BPH may also have undetected prostate cancer at the same time or may develop prostate cancer in the future. Therefore, the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society recommend that all men over 50 consult their physicians about having a digital rectal and PSA examination once a year to screen for prostate cancer. How does BPH occur?

Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: BPH is a condition where benign (non-cancerous) nodules enlarge the prostate gland (the gland that produces the liquid in which sperm are expelled from the penis). Alternative Names: BPH; Benign prostatic hypertrophy; Enlarged prostate; Prostate - enlarged Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The actual cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is unknown. However, men who have had their testicles removed do not develop BPH and, after castration, BPH has been observed to regress. In other words, the presence of normally functioning testicles appears to be necessary for the development of BPH. Abnormally growing prostate tissue may use male hormones differently than normal prostate tissue. Although this tissue growth is non-cancerous, as the tumor grows larger it can obstruct the urethra and interfere with the normal flow of urine. The incidence of BPH increases with advancing age. BPH is so common that it has been said, "All men will have benign prostatic hyperplasia if they live long enough!" A small amount of BPH is present in 80% of men over 40 years old and over 95% of men 80 years old. No risk factors have been identified other than having normally functioning testicles.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Commonly, men over the age of 50 will suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This is the benign enlargement of the prostate gland that can make urination painful and difficult. Men with benign prostatic hypertrophy can have difficulties with the starting of a urinary stream, or problems with an intermittent stream. More than fifty percent of men over the age of 60 have benign prostatic hypertrophy and approximately twenty to twenty-five percent of those require treatment. Newer medical treatment may help the condition, but often surgery is performed to remove excess tissue inside the prostate. Using a special tool called a cystoscope, the physician is able to visualize the prostate and remove the tissue without having to make an incision. Many men confuse benign prostatic hyperplasia with prostate cancer believing it is the beginning stages of prostate cancer. However this is not true and the diseases are very different. As men grow older, from about age 30, the inner portions of the prostate gland slowly enlarge which ultimately by the age of fifty to sixty results in benign prostatic hypertrophy. Prostatic cancer tends not to effect the inner portion but the outer portion of the gland. Both diseases are hard to distinguish from each other since they share some of the same symptoms and sometimes they can both exist at the same time. It is best to see your physician for an exam whenever you have any symptoms. The symptoms noted most commonly with prostate cancer are:

Support Organizations Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that occurs in almost all men as they age. As the prostate enlarges, it may cause difficulty urinating, a need to get up many times during the night to urinate, a frequent urge to urinate, or a sense that the bladder is not completely empty after urination. The need for treatment depends on how bothered the man is by his symptoms. If treatment is needed, it may include medications or, less commonly, surgery. BPH does not cause prostate cancer. However, symptoms typical of BPH should be evaluated by a doctor to be certain they are not actually caused by prostate cancer.
