AUA 2012 Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Pyuria, Microhematuria Duration After Prostate Surgery Quantified
Pyuria persists longer than microhematuria after prostatic surgery and it is significantly associated with resected prostate weight, according to a study presented at the American Urological Association 2012 annual meeting.
Finasteride Reduces PSA, Prostate Volume in BPH Patients
One year of finasteride treatment can decrease PSA levels and prostate volume significantly in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and the magnitude of change may improve clinicians’ ability to diagnose prostate cancer in patients with elevated PSA levels and a prior negative biopsy, researchers reported at the American Urological Association 2012 annual meeting.
Dutasteride May Decrease Risk of BPH Clinical Progression
Men with enlarged prostates may be able to decrease the likelihood of clinical progression of their condition by taking dutasteride, according to study findings presented at the American Urological Association 2012 annual meeting.
Statins May Decrease Prostate Growth
Statin therapy may slow prostate growth in men with an elevated PSA level and a negative prostate biopsy, according to findings presented at the American Urological Association 2012 annual meeting.
BPH Surgical Approaches Compared
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is associated with an increased risk of complications but a significantly lower risk of repeat BPH surgery compared to minimally-invasive surgeries, according to a poster presentation at the American Urological Association 2012 annual meeting.
