II. Epidemiology

  1. As of 2015, BPH affects 38 Million men in U.S. over age 30 years (25% of all U.S. men)
    1. Moderate symptoms in >50%
    2. More than one third seek medical management
  2. Incidence of BPH increases with age
    1. Men aged 60 years: 50%
    2. Men aged 80 years: 88%
  3. Incidence of symptomatic onset is related to ethnicity
    1. African american men: Onset at age 60 years
    2. Caucasian men: Onset at age 65 years

III. Pathophysiology

  1. Prostate size increases with age
    1. Birth: few grams
    2. Age 20 to 55 years: 20-30 ml volume (normal)
    3. Age over 55 years: Increased growth (>40 ml volume is considered large)
  2. Prostatic Hyperplasia begins centrally (periurethral)
    1. Prostatic Hyperplasia compresses Urethra
    2. Results in urinary flow obstruction
  3. Prostate growth is hormonally regulated
    1. Testosterone converted to Dihydrotestosterone
    2. Dihydrotestosterone stimulates Prostate growth
    3. Estrogen also stimulates Prostate growth

IV. Risk Factors: Provocative factors for Urinary Retention

  1. See Medication Causes of Urinary Retention

      1. Meatal stenosis (Diabetes Mellitus)
  3. Neurologic Exam (evaluate for neurogenic Bladder)
    1. Motor Exam of lower extremities
    2. Anal sphincter tone
    3. Sensory Exam of perineum

VII. Differential Diagnosis

  1. See Urinary Retention
  2. Medication Causes of Urinary Retention

VIII. Labs

  1. Urinalysis (Urine Dipstick with urine microscopy)
    1. Urinary Tract Infection
    2. Hematuria
  2. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
    1. NOT required for evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms
    2. Prostate Cancer
      1. AUA recommends if Life Expectancy >10 years
      2. See Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) for Informed Consent discussion in obtaining PSA
    3. Evaluate Prostate size (determines efficacy for 5a-Reductase Inhibitor)
      1. PSA >1.5 ng/ml is a proxy for an enlarged Prostate
  3. Urine cytology
    1. Consider if risk of Bladder Cancer
  4. Renal Function Tests (Serum Creatinine and Blood Urea Nitrogen)
    1. No longer recommended since BPH does not affect baseline renal disease risk
    2. Previously recommended to assess for Postrenal Azotemia

IX. Diagnostics

  1. Urodynamics
    1. See Urodynamics
    2. Not recommended in the initial evaluation of BPH
      1. May be used later to guide management
  2. Transabdominal Ultrasound for Post-Void Residual Urine
    1. Normal residual urine <100 ml
    2. Poor efficacy in identifying Bladder outlet obstruction
      1. Positive Predictive Value 63%
      2. Negative Predictive Value 52%
  3. Transrectal Ultrasound (Prostate size evaluation)
    1. More accurate than Digital Rectal Exam in estimating Prostate size
    2. AUA recommends Ultrasound before 5-alpha reductase inhibitor use or surgery
      1. Poor evidence for outcome benefit (compared with Rectal Exam) before starting 5-alpha reductase inhibitors

X. Management: Conservative Measures for mild symptoms

  1. Limit night-time water consumption
  2. Weight loss (if Overweight)
  3. Observe for complications with annual examination
  4. Avoid provocative medications and substances
    1. See risk factors above
    2. Reduce Caffeine and Alcohol intake
    3. Avoid Anticholinergics (e.g. Antihistamines, Oxybutynin)
  5. Manage Constipation
  6. Physical Therapy Measures
    1. Pelvic Floor Exercise (Kegel Exercise)
    2. Urethral milking
      1. Massage Urethra from behind the Scrotum toward the base of the penis

XI. Management: Medications - First-Line

  1. Indications
    1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Symptom Index 8 or higher
  2. Alpha Adrenergic Antagonists (long-acting)
    1. Efficacy
      1. Excellent, low cost, rapid onset first-line agents
      2. Decreases International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) 2 to 4 points
      3. Preferred over 5a-Reductase Inhibitors (Finasteride) as first-line Therapy
    2. Selective agents (preferred, no Blood Pressure effect)
      1. Risk of ejaculatory dysfunction
        1. May decrease with every other day dosing (similar BPH efficacy)
      2. Tamsulosin (Flomax) 0.4 mg (up to 0.8 mg) orally daily (generic)
      3. Silodosin (Rapaflo) 8 mg orally daily
      4. Alfuzosin (Uroxatral) 10 mg orally daily (generic)
        1. Alfuzosin ER is least likely to cause ejaculatory dysfunction of the selective alpha agents
    3. Non-Selective agents (Antihypertensives, risk of Dizziness, Orthostatic Hypotension, Fall Risk)
      1. Terazosin (Hytrin)
      2. Doxazosin (Cardura)
      3. Prazosin (Minipress) is not recommended due to lack of evidence
  3. Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors (PDE5 Inhibitor)
    1. Indications
      1. First-line alternative to Alpha Adrenergic Antagonists
      2. Consider in patients with both BPH AND Erectile Dysfunction
      3. Avoid combining with Alpha Adrenergic Antagonists
        1. Risk of Hypotension (as well as Headache, myalgias) and low added benefit
    2. Efficacy
      1. Similar efficacy to Alpha Adrenergic Antagonists
        1. Pattanaik (2018) Cochrane Database Syst Rev (11): CD010060 [PubMed]
        2. Rohrbough (2024) Am Fam Physician 109(1): 83-4 [PubMed]
      2. Improves symptom scores but not post-Residual Volume or max urine flow in metaanalysis

  2. 5a-Reductase Inhibitor (Testosterone conversion inhibitor)
    1. Consider as adjunct to Alpha Adrenergic Antagonists (if not controlled after 4 to 12 weeks)
    2. Efficacy
      1. See Finasteride
      2. Less effective than alpha blockade or surgery
      3. Decreases Prostate volume 15 to 25% in first 6 months
      4. Decreases BPH progression at 4 years and effects persist for 10 years
      5. Decreases risk of acute Urinary Retention and surgical intervention
      6. Decreases International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) 1 to 2 points
      7. Maximum effect not reached until 6-12 months after starting
      8. Most effective in men with large Prostate (>40 ml)
        1. Digital Rectal Exam or transrectal Ultrasound predicts size
        2. See PSA for estimating Prostate size
      9. Finasteride effective in reducing Gross Hematuria due to BPH (80%)
      10. Tachlind (2010) Cochrane Database Syst Rev (10): CD006015 [PubMed]
    3. Adverse effects
      1. Suicidal Ideation
      2. Gynecomastia
      3. Sexual Dysfunction (Erectile Dysfunction, decreased libido, abnormal ejaculation)
      4. High grade Prostate Cancer (Finasteride, due to delayed diagnosis with lower PSA values)
    4. Agents
      1. Dutasteride (Avodart, Duagen) 0.5 mg orally daily
      2. Finasteride (Proscar) 5 mg orally daily

      2. 5a-Reductase Inhibitor
    3. Next
      1. Continue 5a-Reductase Inhibitor
      2. Taper or discontinue Alpha Adrenergic Antagonist
  4. Anticholinergic Agents
    1. May be used as an adjunct in combination with other agents above (esp. alpha adrenergic blockers)
    2. May reduce Bladder contractions and improve irritative urinary symptoms (urgency, frequency)
    3. Increased risk of Urinary Retention, although risk of acute urinary obstruction <1%
    4. Risk of confusion in elderly patients (see Beers List)
    5. Preparations
      1. Oxybutynin ER (Ditropan XL) 10 mg orally daily (generic)

      4. Tolterodine ER (Detrol LA) 4 mg orally daily

XIII. Management: Alternative Medications (low efficacy)

  1. Saw Palmetto 160 mg orally twice daily
    1. Mixed results from studies regarding efficacy (see Saw Palmetto)
    2. Initial studies suggested benefit, but 2006 Placebo-controlled study did not
      1. Bent (2006) N Engl J Med 354: 557-66 [PubMed]
    3. Did not reduce Nocturia, Peak Urine Flow, Prostate size or AUA Symptom Index for BPH
      1. Tacklind (2012) Cochrane Database Syst Rev (12): CD001423 [PubMed]
    4. Cochrane Review 2023 also found no benefit for urologic symptoms in BPH
      1. Franco (2023) Cochrane Database Syst Rev 6(6):CD001423 +PMID: 37345871 [PubMed]
  2. Soy products (Isoflavone Genistein)
    1. Tofu contains high concentrations of Genistein
    2. Trinovin (OTC Genistein derived from red clover)
      1. Reduced BPH symptoms at 40-80 mg daily (small trial)
    3. References

XIV. Management: Acute Urinary Obstruction

  1. Evaluation
    1. Consider recent medications predisposing to urinary obstruction (especially Anticholinergics such as Antihistamines)
      1. See Medication Causes of Urinary Retention
    2. Consider alternative causes of urinary obstruction (e.g. pelvic mass, neurologic disorders such as cauda equina)
      1. See Urinary Retention
    3. Urinalysis
    4. Prostate exam
      1. Assess size
      2. Exquisite tenderness suggests Acute Prostatitis
  2. Urinary Catheterization
    1. See Urethral Catheterization
    2. Indicated for complete obstruction with significant post-void residual
    3. Pre-anesthetize Urethra (e.g. Lidocaine jelly)
    4. Use a Coude Catheter
    5. Larger catheters (e.g. 20F) may pass more easily than smaller catheters
    6. Plan follow-up with urology in following 7-10 days (earlier catheter removal may fail)
  3. Medications that decrease urinary obstruction acutely
    1. Start agent with or without catheterization
    2. Alpha Adrenergic Antagonists (see above)
      1. Tamsulosin (Flomax) 0.4 mg orally daily
      2. Alfuzosin XL (Uroxatral) 10 mg daily for 2 days
  4. Antibiotic Indications

  2. Invasive Procedures
    1. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
      1. Most established BPH surgery with excellent longterm outcome data
      2. Inpatient procedure with longer hospital stays
      3. Complications include Erectile Dysfunction, Bladder neck contracture, irritative voiding
      4. Risk of Hyponatremia and TURP Syndrome
        1. Modified procedure with Bipolar TURP reduces these complications
    2. Open Prostatectomy
      1. Most invasive procedure for BPH
      2. Risk of Hemorrhage and other Prostatectomy-related complications
      3. Indications (rarely used for BPH alone)
        1. Very large Prostate size (>80 ml)
