Overview
With age, most men experience prostate enlargement, a progressive condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). More than half of men between the ages of 51 and 60 and up to 90% of men older than age 80 have BPH symptoms. The exact cause of BPH is not known. While BPH isn't cancer, it can cause problems, including urinary tract infections and kidney and bladder dysfunction. Men with BPH also may experience urinary hesitancy, urinary frequency, nocturia, dysuria, urine leakage, straining or pushing to begin urination, a weak urine stream, and dribbling at the end of urination. Men with BPH often have erectile dysfunction, have coronary heart disease, and are at a greater risk for major adverse cardiac events. This course will increase nurses' knowledge about BPH: the pathophysiology, medical and surgical treatment options, and the nurse's role in patient education.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- Identify signs and symptoms associated with BPH.
- List pharmaceutical and surgical BPH treatment options.
- Describe lifestyle modifications nurses can teach men with BPH.
