INTRODUCTION
Benign Prostate Hypertrophy (BPH) is a common condition that
affects many men as they age, significantly impacting their
quality of life. The condition often leads to a range of symptoms
that can interfere with daily activities and overall well-being.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Location : below the bladder, in front of the rectum
and surrounding the urethra.
Size : 1.5 inch and oval in shape weight 20 gm
Function: production of seminal fluid.
sperm protection
urine control
DEFINITION
Benign Prostate Hypertrophy (BPH) is a non-cancerous
enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly occurs in
older men. This condition leads to the growth of the
prostate tissue.
As of 2023, the global prevalence of BPH among men aged 60 years
and older remains high, with estimates suggesting around 80 million
cases.
The age-standardized prevalence is approximately 2,500 per 100,000
people.
In India, BPH continues to affect about 50% of men by the age of 60
years.
INCIDENCE
CAUSES
• Exact cause is unknown
RISKFACTORS
Age: 40 years and above
Gender: in men
Hormonal change: Accumulation of dihydroxy testosterone,
Genetics: Family history
Lifestyle factors: Obesity
Chronic conditions: Diabetes and heart disease
Inflammation: Prostate inflammation or infection
DUE TO ETIOLOGICAL FACTOR LIKE AGING
DECREASED TESTOSTERNE LEVEL
TESTOSTERONE CONVERTED INTO DEHYDROXYTESOSTERONE
DEHYDROXYTESTOSTERONE ACCUMULATED IN STROMAL CELL OF PROSTATE
ENLARGEMENT OF PROSTATE
BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERTROPHY
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Urinary Symptoms
Frequency: Needing to urinate more often, especially at night (nocturia).
Urgency: A sudden, strong urge to urinate.
Hesitancy: Difficulty starting urination, even with the urge.
Weak stream : A decrease in the force of the urine stream.
Intermittent stream: Starting and stopping several times during urination.
Incomplete emptying: Feeling that the bladder is not fully emptied after
urination.
Straining: Needing to push or strain to initiate or maintain urine flow.
Dribbling: Leakage of urine, especially after finishing urination.
Bladder and Kidney Issues
Bladder distension: Swelling of the bladder due to the inability to fully
empty.
Urinary retention: Inability to pass urine
Infections: Increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to retained
urine.
Bladder stones: Formation of stones due to stagnant urine.
Kidney damage: Long-standing BPH can lead to kidney damage due to
increased pressure in the bladder and urinary system.
General Symptoms
Discomfort or pain: Discomfort in the lower abdomen or
pelvis, sometimes due to bladder distension or UTIs.
Hematuria: Presence of blood in the urine, though rare in
uncomplicated BPH, it can occur if there is bladder damage
or infection.
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUVATION
• History collection
• Physical examination
• Digital rectal exam[DRE]
• Prostate-specific
antigen test [PSA]
• Urine flow test
• Postvoid residual volume test
• Ultrasound[transrectal]
• Cystoscopy

MANAGEMENT
PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
Watchful waiting – It is often chosen by men who are not bothered by the symptoms
of BPH.
They have no treatment but to get regular checkups and wait to see whether or not
the condition get worse.
Alpha 1 androgenic receptor blockers - Tamsulosin
Dose - 0.4 mg
Route – oral
Frequency – OD[30 min after meal]
5 alpha reductive inhibitors - Finasteride
Dose – 5 mg
Route – oral
Frequency – OD[without meal]
NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
1. LIFE STYLE MODIFICATION : Fluid management ,bladder training, avoid irritants,
diet
2. PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISE: Kegel exercise
3. HYDROTHERAPY : warm bath
4. BEHAVIOURAL MODIFICATION : encourage the patient to urinate for few
minutes
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
1. Transurethral resection of the prostate [TURP]
2. Suprapubic prostectomy
3.Retropubic prostectomy
4. Perineal proeostectomy
Removing of prostate gland through an incision in the
perinium
Minimal invasive therapy
1. Transurethral needle ablation : It uses low-level radio frequencies
to produce localized heat to destroy prostate tissue.
2. Microwave thermotherapy : Microwaves are passed through a
catheter inserted to the urethra opening of the penis to destroy
the excess tissue
3. Transurethral laser resection : Cystoscopy inserted into the urethra
and a laser attached to the cystoscope fiber and it sends laser to
burn away the prostate tissue
4. Prostate stent : Prostate stent is a tubular device inserted to the
urethra to the point of construction it allowed to expand
NURSING
MANAGEMEMNT
• Monitor urinary output frequency and urgency
• Assess for bladder distension and signs of urinary retention
• Educate on fluid intake [avoid excessive fluids at night]
• Advise on avoiding bladder irritants caffeine and alcohol
• Administer prescribed medications like Alpha one blocker or 5
Alpha adaptors inhibitor monitor for side effects like dizziness or
hypotension
• Watch for signs of infection example fever and this area
assess for acute urinary retention or hematuria
• Prepare the patient for non invasive treatments like
TUMT or surgical interventions TURP
• Provide post procedure care and monitor for
complications like bleeding
• Advice routine checkups to monitor prostate size and
urinary symptoms
• Help with the positioning to ease urinary discomfort
Encourage pelvic floor exercises to strengthen muscles
and improve control
NURSING DIAGNOSIS :
• IMPAIRED URINARY ELIMINATION REALTED TO BLADDER OUTLET
OBSTRUCTION DUE TO ENLARGED PROSTATE AS EVIDENCED BY WEAK
URINE STREAM.
• ACUTE PAIN RELATED TO BLADDER DISTENSION AS EVIDENCED BY
VERBALIZATION .
• RISK FOR INFECTION RELATED TO URINARY STASIS DUE TO IMCOMPLETE
BLADDER EMPTYING.
• URINARY RETENTION REALTED TO ENLARGED PROSTATE AS EVIDENCED
BY INABILITY TO VOID .
• DISTURBED SLEEP PATTERN REALTED TO FREQUENT NOCTURIA AS
EVIDENCED BY FATIGUE DURING THE DAY
CONCLUSION
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting
older men, characterized by the non-cancerous enlargement of the
prostate gland. This enlargement can lead to significant urinary
symptoms, including frequent urination, difficulty starting and
stopping urination, and weak urine flow.
