Risk Factors-page 696 Can be age related Ethnicity Low body weight Anorexia Menopause Hyperthyroidism RA and autoimmune diseases Gastro diseases Smoking Excessive alcohol intake Low calcium Low vitamin D Physical inactivity PPIs Anticonvulsants steroids

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Overgrowth of prostate Can look like LUTS Bladder outlet obstruction Symptoms impact QOL but rarely causes serious symptoms Similar symptoms to prostate cancer
Treatment Treatment guided by symptom relief Mild – watchful waiting Moderate/Severe Medications Surgery Transurethral resection of the prostate TURP This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
Drug Treatment Alpha blockers Used alone or in combo with 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors Decrease size of prostate PDE-5 inhibitors With or without finasteride
Alpha Blocker First Line Relaxation of smooth muscle in prostate Reduces outlet obstruction and improves urinary flow Alpha-1 primarily in prostate Floppy iris syndrome Alpha-1 in the iris Pupils do not dilate well Delay alpha blocker until cataract surgery complete
5 alpha-reductase inhibitors Blocks conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone Improve symptoms Decrease risk of acute urinary retention Decrease need for surgery Contraindicated women of child-bearing age May require 6 months of treatment for maximal efficacy
