良性前列腺增生(BPH),也被称为良性前列腺肥大,是一种非恶性腺瘤性过度生长的尿道周围前列腺腺常见于老年男性。历史上,人们一直认为男性下尿路症状的病理生理学是与前列腺肥大相关的膀胱出口梗阻的结果。常见的症状包括排尿犹豫、膀胱排空不全、尿流不止或排尿时间延长、排尿困难、尿急和/或急迫性尿失禁。了解鉴别诊断和订购适当的实验室检查是必不可少的准确识别BPH诊断。管理可以分为药物或药物和手术治疗。这篇文章的目的是提供一个概述BPH及其管理在老年人。
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a nonmalignant adenomatous overgrowth of the periurethral prostate gland commonly seen in aging men. Historically, it has been assumed that the pathophysiology of lower urinary tract symptoms in men is the result of bladder outlet obstruction associated with prostate enlargement. Symptoms such as urinary hesitancy, incomplete bladder emptying, dribbling or prolonged urination, nocturia, urinary urgency, and/or urge incontinence are common. Understanding the differential diagnosis and ordering appropriate laboratory tests are essential in accurately identifying a BPH diagnosis. Management can be broken down into medical or pharmacological and surgical therapies. This article aims to provide an overview of BPH and its management in older adults.
