How scientific are we in treating symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (bph)

Comprehensive studies show that the holmium laser is ideal for treating BPH. Holmium laser treatments have been the most rigorously investigated BPH techniques. Over 90 articles have been published from 8 randomized clinical trials and over 30 case studies and comparative series. The American, European, British and Australasian urology associations recommend holmium laser for BPH treatment. Hol...

Surgical Options for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

In 1788 John Hunter first described the pathology of prostatic hyperplasia and its effects on the upper urinary tract. It took a century for the first suprapubic prostatectomy to be carried out in 1887 by AF McGill in Leeds (though Americans tend to claim credit to Fuller in New York in 1894.) The procedure was subsequently p o p u l a r i s e d b y S i r Pe t e r F r e ye r . R e t r o p u b i...

Serum Biochemical and Hematological Parameters in Dogs with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

BACKGROUND: Clinical prostatic diseases occur in 80% of dogs over 5 and 95% over 9 years of age. . It seems that benign prostatic hyperplasia) BPH) affect Scottish terriers more severely than the other breeds. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the changes of biochemical and hematological parameters in BPH dogs. METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 10 male dogs older than five year...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) management in the primary care setting.

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) occurs in up to 50% of men by age 50, and the incidence increases with age. This common clinical problem is diagnosed by history, including the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire, and physical examination by digital rectal examination (DRE). Initial management for BPH includes lifestyle modification, and smooth muscle relaxant alpha blo...
