Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Impact of Nutrition on Urologic and Renal Diseases
By watching what they eat and drink, patients can control such common problems as overactive bladder, prostatitis, interstitial cystitis, and chronic kidney disease.
BPH Symptoms Worsen With Greater Daily Temperature Differences
Greater daily temperature differences, the average number of visits to emergency departments for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia increase, according to a large study of Korean men.
Erectile Dysfunction Linked to Prostate Zonal Volume in BPH Patients
Investigators found a significant positive correlation between transitional zone index (TZI) and IPSS and a significant negative correlation between TZI and both the International Index of Erectile Function and penile peak systolic velocity.
Aquablation, TURP Offer Similar Long-Term Outcomes
Aquablation therapy is associated with 3-year outcomes similar to those of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), according to a new study. At 3 years, men who underwent Aquablation—a minimally invasive procedure in which a high-velocity waterjet is used to resect…
Study: Same-Day HoLEP Surgery Safe Regardless of Prostate Size
Complication and readmission rates for patients who undergo holmium laser enucleation of the prostate are similar whether patients are discharged directly from post-anesthesia care or are admitted to a hospital overnight, a study found.
Few Older European Men Aware of Prostate Function
New survey reveals low levels of awareness about prostate health in men older than 50 years of age
NLR May Predict Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion in BPH

IPP is an anatomical feature caused by the growth of prostatic lateral and median lobes. The new finding is from a study of 250 men older than 50 years…
