BPH - Benign Prostatic Enlargement

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and kidney stones are among the most common benign urologic conditions in males. A key risk factor for kidney stones is low fluid intake. Males with BPH frequently restrict fluid intake to manage lower urinary tract symptoms, potentially increasing their stone risk.

Background and Objectives: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a progressive, androgen-dependent condition driven by dihydrotestosterone (DHT). 5α-reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs), including finasteride and dutasteride, target this pathway and provide disease-modifying effects.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a widely prevalent age-associated disease that is the main contributor to lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in aging men. Although prostate fibrosis has been recognized as a contributor to BPH pathophysiology, there are not any clinically available therapeutics that target this aspect of disease progression.

No previous studies have directly compared pre- and postoperative pressure flow study (PFS) outcomes between transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and photoselective vaporization of the prostate using the GreenLight XPS laser system (PVP-XPS).

To compare robotic transabdominal enucleation of the prostate (RTEP) and laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP) concerning perioperative and functional outcomes for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) are a ubiquitous condition estimated to affect over 50% of men over the age of 50 years. Various treatment options exist for men presenting with LUTS/BPH, including lifestyle and behavioral modification and medical or surgical treatment.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with median-lobe enlargement (MLE) is a distinct and challenging clinical entity contributing to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Minimally invasive treatments, such as transperineal laser ablation (TPLA), offer potential advantages in treating this subgroup, but limited data exist regarding their outcomes.

This systematic review assessed the potential effectiveness and safety of Serenoa repens (saw palmetto) for benign prostatic disorders, mainly benign prostatic hyperplasia and associated lower urinary tract symptoms.

The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate whether quantitative variables obtained using computed tomography (CT) perfusion and dual-energy CT (DECT) can predict 3-month clinical success after prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Detrusor underactivity (DUA) may coexist in up to one-third of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is traditionally associated with poorer surgical outcomes, as impaired contractility may limit postoperative voiding recovery.
