An Approach to the Management of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

An Approach to the Management of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects up to 50% of men over the age of 50; the condition’s  prevalence  increases with age, particularly after the age of 40. BPH can lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can have a significant negative impact on health-related q...

BPH can lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can have a significant negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Men presenting with a gradual onset of LUTS are often suspected to have BPH. However, the clinician must recognize that LUTS possess many different aetiologies. This article aims to provide medical students with a stepwise approach to the diagnosis and management of LUTS that are secondary to BPH. The outlined approach describes the differential diagnoses, required investigations, and management-related details for LUTS that are secondary to BPH. This approach is based off of relevant Canadian, American, and European urological association guidelines. https://mjm.mcgill.ca/article/view/330BPHLUTS
