Timely Diagnosis

One of the key concepts of modern medicine is the quality of life associated with health, which is influenced by the initial underlying disease, its timely diagnosis and quality treatment, as well as rehabilitation, further prevention and identification of complications that have arisen. The conditions and lifestyle of the patient play an important role, not only his physical health, but also mental health. Despite the fact that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not a life-threatening disease, its main clinical signs are symptoms of dysfunction of the lower urinary tract, which to a greater extent cause discomfort to patients and significantly reduce their quality of life. One of the triggering factors for the development of prostate cancer is neglected cases of BPH progression. The occurrence of prostate cancer, as a consequence of BPH, undoubtedly worsens the patient's quality of life and requires timely diagnosis, detection and immediate treatment. Based on the literature data, the article analyzes the risk factors for the occurrence and the main methods of treatment for BPH and prostate cancer, which negatively affect the patient's quality of life.

Ageing Male

The most common pathologic conditions of the prostate are benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Both of these conditions have age as a risk factor. Therefore the importance of understanding their impact in the ageing male is clear. In particular, both of these conditions can have an effect on quality of life in the ageing male. This chapter will aim to evaluate the background and diagnostic differences between the two conditions, with a focus on the benefits and pitfalls of prostate-specific antibody (PSA) testing. Furthermore, the effects of both these common conditions, including their impact on the male lower urinary tract, are explored. Subsequently, a focused outline of the treatment options for both BPH and prostate cancer will be presented. The discussion will focus on mechanisms of optimizing treatment options in an elderly population. Finally, the potential complications of different treatments for prostate cancer will be explored.

Background: The etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer are unknown, with ageing being the greatness risk factor. Methods: This new perspective evaluates the available interdisciplinary evidence regarding prostate ageing in terms of the cell biology of regulation and homeostasis, which could explain the timeline of evolutionary cancer biology as degenerative, inflammatory and neoplasm progressions in these multifactorial and heterogeneous prostatic diseases. Results: This prostate ageing degeneration hypothesis encompasses the testosterone-vascular-inflamm-ageing triad, along with the cell biology regulation of amyloidosis and autophagy within an evolutionary tumorigenesis microenvironment. Conclusions: An understanding of these biological processes of prostate ageing can provide potential strategies for early prevention and could contribute to maintaining quality of life for the ageing individual along with substantial medical cost savings.

Before And After

To explore the influence of human-oriented nursing mode on the self-care ability, unhealthy emotion and quality of life of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 147 patients with BPH admitted to our hospital from February 2018 to August 2019 were selected and all patients were separated into two groups on the basis of the nursing intervention mode. 77 cases in the research group (RG) were given the human-oriented nursing mode and 70 cases in the control group (CG) were given the conventional nursing mode. The bladder irrigation time (BIT), indwelling catheter time (ICT), postoperative hospitalization time (PHT) and the incidence rate of postoperative complications were observed in the two groups after nursing intervention. Before and after nursing intervention, the self-care ability of patients was evaluated in the two groups by Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA). In the two groups, the anxiety and depression status were evaluated by the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The Quality of Life Scale for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Patient (BPHQLS) was applied to evaluate the quality of life in both groups before and after nursing intervention. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was used to assess the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of patients in the two groups before and after nursing intervention. The self-made nursing satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the nursing satisfaction in the two groups. The BIT, ICT and PHT in RG after nursing intervention were obviously lower than those in CG, and the incidence of postoperative complications in RG was also obviously lower than that in CG (p < 0.05). The ESCA score of patients in RG after nursing intervention was significantly higher than that in CG (P < 0.05). The SAS and SDS scores of patients in RG after nursing intervention were significantly lower than those in CG (P < 0.05). The BPHQLS score in RG after nursing intervention was obviously higher than that in CG (P < 0.05). The IPSS score of patients in RG after nursing intervention was obviously lower than that in CG (p < 0.05). The nursing satisfaction score in RG after nursing intervention was obviously higher than that in CG (p < 0.05).Condusion: The application effect of the human-oriented nursing mode on patients with BPH is definite, which can improve self-care ability, unhealthy emotion and effectively ameliorate the quality of life.
