Benign prostatic hyperplasia: current clinical practice.

Abstract:

:Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign adenoma in men, affecting nearly all of them. BPH represents a clinically significant cause of bladder outflow obstruction in up to 40% of men. The growing frequency of diagnosis is due to increasing life expectancy and a trend toward seeking medical advice at earlier stages of the disease. The last decade has witnessed a significant shift in emphasis in the management of BPH, with medical therapies and, to a lesser extent, minimally invasive therapies becoming the predominant active therapy choices. The development of effective therapies such as alpha-adrenergic blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and the possibility of their combined use represent the most significant advance in the treatment of BPH.
