Is a noncancerous increase in size of the prostate. BPH involves hyperplasia of prostatic stromal and epithelial cells, resulting in the formation of large, fairly discrete nodules in the transition zone of the prostate.

BPH does not lead to cancer or increase the risk of cancer.

Cause

• Androgens (testosterone and related hormones) to play a permissive role in the development of BPH
• Dihydrotestosterone (DTH), a metabolite of testosterone, is a critical mediator of prostatic growth.

Sign & Symptoms

• Bph is the most common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (luts), which are divided into storage, voiding, and symptoms which occur after urination
• Voiding symptoms include urinary hesitancy (a delay between trying to urinate and the flow actually beginning), intermittency (not continuous),involuntary interruption of voiding, weak urinary stream, straining to void, a sensation of incomplete emptying, and terminal dribbling (uncontrollable leaking after the end of urination, also called post-micturition dribbling).
• Bph can be a progressive disease, especially if left untreated. Incomplete voiding results in residual urine or urinary stasis, which can lead to an increased risk of urinary tract infection.
