What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant ailment marked by prostate gland enlargement. Also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy or benign prostatic obstruction, this condition frequently emerges during the secondary growth phase of the prostate, commencing around the age of 25 and persisting throughout a man’s lifespan.
Causes and Symptoms of BPH
Causes of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
The exact causes of BPH remain uncertain, but several factors are believed to contribute to its development, particularly in older men:
- BPH primarily affects older men.
- Hormonal changes, particularly a decrease in active testosterone levels, are thought to influence BPH development.
- Hormones from the testes, including testosterone, might be significant triggers.
- Higher levels of DHT have been observed in older men, accompanied by a decrease in testosterone levels.
While the exact interplay of these factors is still being studied, grasping these potential contributors can offer valuable insights into the progression of BPH.
Symptoms of Having Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
BPH often presents with a range of noticeable symptoms:
- An increased need to urinate.
- Frequently awakening during the night to urinate.
- Difficulty initiating urination.
- A weakened or intermittent urine stream.
- Post-urination dribbling.
- Sensation of not fully emptying the bladder.
Awareness of these symptoms can help individuals identify potential BPH-related concerns and seek appropriate medical guidance.
When to See a Urologist for BPH
If you’re encountering specific signs and symptoms associated with BPH, seeking guidance and care from a urologist is essential. While certain symptoms may appear mild, others could signify a more critical underlying condition.
Reach out to a urologist when:
- You’re facing persistent discomfort or pain during urination.
- Notice blood in your urine—this warrants immediate attention.
- Frequent urinary tract infections could indicate an underlying issue.
- Unable to urinate or experiencing complete urinary retention.
- Having symptoms such as lower back pain or changes in kidney function.
- Your symptoms don't improve with at-home measures or worsen over time.
Diagnosing an Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Dr. Rice’s patient-focused approach begins with a comprehensive discussion of your medical history and a thorough physical examination. If BPH is suspected, various tests will ensure an accurate diagnosis.
These tests encompass:
Cystoscopy
A flexible tube with a light and camera, known as a cystoscope, is inserted into your urethra and bladder, enabling visual inspection.
Post-Void Residual Volume Test
This measures leftover urine in your bladder after urination.
Prostate Biopsy
If necessary, a small prostate tissue sample is obtained for examination, with MRI-ultrasound guidance when applicable.
Ultrasound
Utilizing sound waves, ultrasound generates images of your prostate, aiding in size assessment.
Urodynamic and Pressure Flow Studies
These assess bladder pressure and muscle function.
Uroflowmetry
Measures urine flow strength and speed during urination.
