Abstract
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in male patients. Symptoms
include urinary frequency, slow stream, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. This
condition can have a significant impact on quality of life. There are several treatment modalities
available for the management of BPH including watchful waiting, medications, minimally
invasive surgical interventions, and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This paper
will review the pathophysiology, symptoms, medications, and surgical interventions available.
