Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Disease Summary

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a histopathological diagnosis characterized by epithelial cell and smooth muscle proliferation in the transition zone of the prostate.
Signs and symptoms include dribbling at the end of urination, nocturia, pain after ejaculation or urination, weak or interrupted urinary stream, straining or trouble starting a urine stream, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, and urine with unusual smell or color.
The primary treatment goals are to reduce lower urinary tract symptoms, prevent complications, prevent or delay disease progression and improve prostate-related quality of life.
