However, BPH nodules, usually from the TZ are often biopsied anyway to rule out cancer in the TZ. [47]: 695 BPH can be a progressive growth that in rare instances leads to exceptional enlargement. [48] In some males, the prostate enlargement exceeds 200 to 500 grams. [48] This condition has been defined as giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH). [48]
If medical treatment does not reduce a patient's urinary symptoms, a TURP may be considered following a careful examination of the prostate or bladder through a cystoscope. If TURP is contraindicated, a urologist may consider a simple prostatectomy, in and out catheters, or a supra-pubic catheter to help a patient void urine effectively. [3]
Prostate laser surgery is used to relieve moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by prostate enlargement. The surgeon inserts a scope through the penis tip into the urethra. A laser passed through the scope delivers energy to shrink or remove excess tissue that is preventing urine flow. [7] Different types of prostate laser surgery include:
Prostatic obstruction [1] is a common condition with a variety of causes. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common cause, [ 2 ] but obstruction may also occur acutely after treatment for BPH such as transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), transurethral microwave ...
In prostate cancer, the abnormal cells spread beyond the boundaries of the acinus and form clusters without basal cells. In HGPIN, the basal cell layer is disrupted but present. PIN is primarily found in the peripheral zone of the prostate (75-80%), rarely in the transition zone (10-15%) and very rarely in the central zone (5%), a distribution ...
The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) can be used to gauge the symptoms, along with physician examination. Other primary and secondary tests are often carried out, such as a PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) test, [17] urinalysis, ultrasound, urinary flow studies, imaging, temporary prostatic stent placement, prostate biopsy and/or ...
