Description
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very common disorder in ageing males. It consists of an enlargement of the prostate that impairs urine flow, leading to symptoms in the lower urinary tract (LUTS).
Though it is a benign disease, progressive involvement of the urinary flow may cause complications, and in most cases, a negative impact on the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it is important to be able to recognize that in the lower urinary tract there is a dynamic balance between the bladder, the bladder neck, the prostate and the urethra, and that when this is altered due to prostate disease, the rest of the system suffers the consequences.
At present, treatment of BPH aims at reducing symptoms and preventing progression and associated complications.
