I) Introduction:
Good afternoon, all. How are you? Hope you all had a good lunch. I would like
to share a recent experience with you. I have an uncle who is ex-serviceman.
He is a family man and gets along with all easily and consumes alcohol almost
frequently. Recently he complained of urine retention, increased urinary
frequency and nocturia. He consulted a Urologist and after investigations was
diagnosed as Benign Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What treatment can be
provided to him?

Benign Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign enlargement of the prostate
gland.

V) Management:
The goals are to:
restore bladder drainage
relieve the patient's symptom
prevent or treat the complications of BPH.

Medical Management:
Non-Pharmacological Management:
The approaches include:
Life-style modification
Catheterization
Double void
8. LESSON PLAN ON MANAGEMENT OF BENIGN
PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA
Life-style modification:
Life-style alterations to address the symptoms of BPH include:
Physical activity
Decreasing fluid intake before bedtime.
Moderating the consumption of alcohol and caffeine containing products
Following a timed voiding schedule.
9. LESSON PLAN ON MANAGEMENT OF BENIGN

Catheterization:
The treatment plan depends on the cause of BPH, the severity of the
obstruction and the patient's condition
Double void:
This means urine is passed twice in succession first empty the bladder
normally in a relaxed way, wait for few minutes, and try to void again, do not
strain or push to empty.

Pharmacological Management:
Alpha blockers
These medications relax the bladder neck muscles and muscle fibres in the
prostate, making urination easier. Examples are Alfuzosin, Doxazosin, Tamsulosin
and Silodosin.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors
These medications shrink prostate by preventing hormonal changes that cause
prostate growth. Examples are Finasteride and Dutasteride.
Combination treatment
Taking an alpha blocker and 5-alpha reductase inhibitor at the same time if either
medication alone isn’t effective.

Surgical Management:
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) surgery used to treat urinary
problems that caused by an enlarged prostate.
An instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the tip of the penis
and into the tube that carries urine from bladder (urethra). The resectoscope
helps to visualize and trim away excess prostate tissue that's blocking urine
flow.

Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP)
Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) is a procedure to treat urinary
symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It's generally used for men with
small to moderated sized prostates.
The resectoscope is inserted through the tip of the penis into the tube that
carries urine from bladder (urethra).
Incision of one or two small grooves in the area where the prostate and the
bladder are connected (bladder neck) to open the urinary channel and allow
urine to pass through more easily.

Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA)
Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) also known as radiofrequency ablation.
It is an outpatient procedure to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged
prostate.
The resectoscope is inserted through the tip of the penis into the tube that
carries urine from bladder (urethra).
The prostate surrounds the urethra. Using the cystoscope, guides a pair of
tiny needles into the prostate tissue that is pressing on the urethra. Radio
waves are then passed through the needles, generating heat that creates scar
tissue. Special shields protect the urethra from the heat. The scarring shrinks
prostate tissue, allowing urine to flow more easily.

VI) Nursing Management:
Health promotion
Acute intervention
Ambulatory and home care
17. LESSON PLAN ON MANAGEMENT OF BENIGN
PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA
Health promotion:
Early detection and treatment
Reducing intake of caffeine and alcohol
Avoid compounds found in cough and cold preparations.
Avoid the risk of urinary stasis and urinary retention.
18. LESSON PLAN ON MANAGEMENT OF BENIGN
PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA
Acute intervention:
Preoperative care
Post-operative care
Preoperative care:
Urinary drainage restored before surgery
Antibiotics administered
Allow to express sexual concerns.
19. LESSON PLAN ON MANAGEMENT OF BENIGN
PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA
Post-operative care:
Complications if any are noted
Remove clotted blood from the bladder
Inflow & out flow of irrigant are strictly monitored.
Prevent urethral irritation and bladder infection.
Reduce the bleeding site of the prostate by applying counter pressure
Avoid bladder spasms
Practice pelvic floor exercises
Straining during bowel movements avoided
20. LESSON PLAN ON MANAGEMENT OF BENIGN
PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA
Ambulatory and Home care:
Care of catheter
Managing urinary in-continence.
Intake of oral fluids 2000-3000ml day
Observing for urinary tract and wound infection
Prevent constipation
Avoid heavy lifting

VII) Complications on BPH Surgery:
Bleeding from the urethra, outer prostate or penis.
Inflammation and pain in the urethra, prostate or penis lasting longer than 2
weeks.
Reduced urine flow or urinary symptoms such as incontinence or urinary
urgency 6 weeks past surgery.
Blood in the urine that is severe or last longer than 4 – 6 weeks.
Severe clots of blood in urine or urine that is entirely red.
Dizziness, shortness of breath or confusion.
Severe abdominal pain or discomfort.
