Activity Description

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition encountered in aging men and a common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms. Histological prevalence is common, and disease progression is associated with bladder outflow obstruction. This may present clinically in both the emergency surgical and outpatient clinical settings. This activity reviews the natural history of benign prostatic hyperplasia and highlights the role of the interprofessional healthcare team in evaluating and managing these patients.

Participants will explore the definitions of benign prostatic hyperplasia, benign prostatic enlargement, and bladder outlet obstruction, gaining clarity on the terminology used to describe the various aspects of the condition. They will acquire a thorough understanding of benign prostatic hyperplasia, its clinical implications, and evidence-based approaches to its evaluation and management. This knowledge will equip healthcare professionals and interprofessional team members with the tools necessary to enhance patient care and outcomes in affected individuals.
