    Pathophysiology of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

    Uploaded by

    Kevin Jade Herrera
    Benign prostatic hyperplasia is caused by predisposing factors like diet, overweight, and heredity as well as precipitating factors like increasing age. Risk factors include androgens and estrogens. This leads to enlargement of the prostate and bladder, compressing the urethra and obstructing urine flow. Symptoms include urinary urgency, frequency, incontinence and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Treatment may involve radical prostatectomy.
