Pathophysiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Pathophysiology lecture on the physiology of the prostate gland, and the etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Distinction made between benign prostatic hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Discussion of the causes of urinary retention.

Hypertrophy and hyperplasia are not interchangeable scientifically speaking . Hypertrophy is when there is an increase in the size of cells and hyperplasia is where you have an increase in the number of the cells, both lead to an increase in the overall size of an organ

very informative video, thank you for your effort :)

All your videos are helping me in my final mbbs examination. thank u so much sir

Thank you for making the videos Andrew. Our pharmacy school professor uses your videos for pre class preparations. By the way, terazosin and prazosin are not alpha 1a blockers, they're alpha 1 blockers.

This should be the standard to teach medicine. Hospital everyday (4-5 hours), then get back home to watch pre-prepared videos by the course instructor.

Thank you very much.

Andrew Wolf -- Thanks for your presentation. It is well organized, articulate and quite informative.

MEDICAL MYSTERY

You explained the connection between Urinary Retention and BPH. Would you please also explain the connection between Post Operative Urinary Retention (POUR) and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

It is hypothetically possible for a man to experience POUR who has never experienced any symptoms of BPH before having a surgical operation under general endotracheal anesthesia in a hospital. Anesthesia/analgesic drugs administered during surgery are said to be a proximate risk factor in POUR, especially drugs that suppress parasympathetic autonomic nervous system functions including micturition due to the urinary bladder detrusor muscle. Other than the possibility of the hypothetical surgery patient having asymptomatic BPH before his surgery, how could this sequence of events be explained?

CAC Kanchnaar guggulu has anti-bacterial, analgesic, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties that subside the symptoms of BPH quickly and is very beneficial for weight loss, any type of cyst, thyroid, etc. Each tablet consist of Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Elaichi (Elettaria cardamomum), Maricha (Piper longum), etc.

Thank you for your explanation sir, it help me a lots. i wanna ask something, why are people with BPH usually caused nocturia? is there any logically reason?

[yasirabozaid]

opinion: DHT receptors are hyperactive it’s compensation for the decreased testosterone as a consequence decrease DHT, body tries to make more receptors thinking that he will get more DHT .

It's important to know this, especial men!

[ramadhian]

[kibrubeza]

Thanks a lot for detailed presentation

[Mohammed-rgmz]

is BPH pathological or physiological condition?

[zitataylor]

Hi,

Thanks for this! Preparing for a pathophysiology exam next week & finding many of your videos helpful. Just wanted to ask about the role of sesescent cells in BPH. They are included in my lecture notes but no mention here. Are you able to advise if these cells to contribute to BHP. Thank you in advance.
