BPH Medications May Increase Heart Failure Risk
It is important for urologists and primary care physicians to be aware of the potential link between BPH medications and heart failure risk, according to investigators.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
TURP Superior to Prostatic Artery Embolization at Improving BPH Symptoms
At 24 months after treatment for refractory BPH symptoms, patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate had more pronounced improvements in most functional outcomes compared with those treated with prostatic artery embolization, a study found.
Adding Vibegron to BPH Meds Safe, Effective for Overactive Bladder
In a small study, add-on vibegron appeared well-tolerated and clinically effective among men with persistent OAB.
Combination Therapy More Effective for BPH-Induced Overactive Bladder
A meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of imidafenacin for overactive bladder induced by benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Urinary Symptom Improvement Similar With TURP, ThuVARP
Thulium laser transurethral vaporesection of the prostate and transurethral resection of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia resulted in comparable improvements in International Prostate Symptom Score over 12 months.
AUA Releases Updated Guidelines on Microhematuria, BPH-Related LUTS

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…
