Relevance. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterized by the presence of stromal and glandular hyperplasia in the periurethral and transitional zones. To describe the nature of intravesical growth of prostate tissue, an index of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) was proposed. Clinically, men with an IPP measuring 10 mm or more are less likely to respond to α1-blocker therapy and 5α-reductase inhibitors. Thus, the description of the morphological features of the prostate depending on IPP grade is an actual issue. Purpose: to identify features of the morphological structure of the IPP in men with BPH. Materials and methods. Surgical treatment of the clinical form of BPH was performed to 30 men. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 1st group had IPP less than 10 mm (n = 12) and the 2nd group had IPP 10 mm or more (n = 18). In this study we evaluated the age, prostate volume and the value of IPP. The material for morphological investigation was obtained with transurethral resection of the prostate from the IPP zone. For light-optical examination, the preparations were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for routine evaluation of the structure of the prostate gland and for Van Gieson to estimate the proportion of the muscular and fibrous components of the stroma. The quantification of structural indicators was carried out by means of the television image analyzer MEKOS-TS2 in an automatic mode. Results: The groups were similar in age and prostate volume. In the group with IPP value of 10 mm or more, the proportion of the stromal component in the IPP zone was 77.5 ± 11.0%, the proportion of the glandular component was 22.5 ± 11.0%, respectively. In the group of men with IPP less than 10 mm, the proportion of the stromal component in the IPP zone was 96.0  1.5%, the proportion of the glandular component was 4.0 ± 1.5%, respectively (p < 0.05). It was also found that with an increase in IPP there is a tendency to decrease the proportion of the muscular component of the stroma. Conclusion: In men with BPH, with an increase in the value of intravesical prostatic protrusion in this zone, a relative increase in the proportion of the glandular component and a decrease in the proportion of the stromal component is proved, as well as a tendency to reduce the proportion of the muscular component of the stroma.

INTRODUCTION: Intravesical prostatic protrusion is a morphological change due to excessive growth of the median and lateral lobes of the prostate into the bladder in benign prostatic hyperplasia. It causes a 'ball-valve' type of obstruction during voiding. It is a useful parameter to assess the severity of the disease process, selection of treatment modality and its possible outcome in benign prostatic hyperplasia.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, non-randomized, observational study was carried out from January 2014 to June 2014 in the Department of Urology, College of Medical Sciences, Nepal. Total of 50 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were evaluated to assess the correlation of intravesical prostatic protrusion with international prostate symptom score, prostate volume, maximum flow rate and post void residual urine. Correlation between parameters of interest was quantified with Pearson correlation test.RESULTS: A positive correlation was demonstrated between intravesical prostatic protrusion, international prostate symptom score, prostate volume and post void residual urine. There was a negative correlation between intravesical prostatic protrusion and maximum flow rate.CONCLUSION: Intravesical prostatic protrusion is correlated with international prostate symptom score, prostate volume, maximum flow rate, and post void residual urine volume and hence can be used to assess the severity of benign prostatic hyperplasia.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences Vol. 3, No. 1, 2015: 6-10

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a histologic diagnosis status characterized by proliferation of the ‘glandular elements’ of the prostate, which may lead to an enlarged prostate gland. In many studies, people over the age of 40 years found as the most vulnerable for BPH. Ultrasonography is a prominent method to determine prostate volume or size. Aim of the study: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prostate volume measurement for the Bangladeshi population over the age of 40 years by ultrasonography.Methods:This prospective, observational study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Chattogram Medical College Hospital, Chattogram, Bangladesh during the period from January 2019 to December 2020. In total 157 suspected patients of benign prostatic hyperplasia were selected as the study population. All patients were clinically diagnosed for BPH, based on the present prostate symptoms and digital rectal examination. To measure the prostate volume, abdominal ultrasonography was performed for all the patients. After enucleation, another ultrasonogram was performed for all the patients to measure the existing sizes of the prostates of the patients. All the data were processed, analyzed, and disseminated by MS-word and SPSS programs as per need.Results:Finally, in this study in analyzing the volumes of the prostates of the participants according to the abdominal ultra-sonographic reports of pre-operative stage we observed, in 9%, 34%, 31%, 30%, 21% and 32% patients, the prostate sizes (In cc) were <20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, 81-100 and >100 cc respectively. On the other hand, after enucleation, in 11.46%, 24.20%, 28.66%, 27.39%, 7.01% and 1.27% patients, the prostate sizes (In cc) were found <20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, 81-100 and >100 cc respectively. The mean changes of prostate sizes between pre- and post-operative stages among the participant was not significant where the P value was found 0.464.Conclusion:The findings of this study support the applications of abdominal ultrasonographic evaluation for suspected benign prostatic hyperplasia patients to know about the exact volumes of their prostates for selecting the appropriate surgical approach.

The benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a (noncancerous) malignant growth in the size of the prostate. This enlargement of the prostate gland is produced by a relative increase in estrogen (female hormones) on testosterone (male hormone), which appears in men with age. Objective:To determine the relationship of PSA, with the size of the prostate in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia admitted to General Hospital of Escarcega, Campeche Dr. Janel Aguilar during the period from August 2019 to January 2020. Method:patients were studied with the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia 50 years of age and older and excluded those who had other diseases that may alter prostate specific antigen, subsequently classified by age determined through PSA ultrasound prostate-specific and the average size of the prostate in grams and the average PSA for each age range and the relationship between them, while describes how it affects their self-esteem was determined. Results:Of the patients studied, 22 belong to the range of 50 to 59 years old (51.16%), 14 to range from 60 to 69 years old (32.55%) and 7 to range from 70 to 79 years old ( 16.27%). 44.1% of patients presented a prostate of 50 grams, the 51.16% prostates 60 grams and 4.6% a prostate gland of 70 grams. The average size of the prostate in grams was 50 grams in the range 50 to 59 years old, 60 g in the range 60 to 69 years old and 60 grams in the range of 70 to 79 years, and the average value of PSA was 5.5 ng / ml, 6 ng / ml and 7.5 ng / ml respectively. In the range 50 to 59 years of age every gram prostate equivalent to 0.11 ng / ml of PSA in the range 60 to 69 years of age every gram prostate equivalent to 0.1 ng / ml of PSA and the range 70 to 79 years old every gram of prostate equivalent to 0.125 ng / ml of PSA. Similarly we find that the entire population 72% have low self-esteem and problems with its image. Conclusions:In our environment in the group of 50-59 years old is the highest number of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The objectives of this study were to determine and compare the correlation of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) and prostate volume (PV) with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). This study was conducted in the department of urology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, between July 2009 to September 2010. Fifty benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients were included in the study. Their evaluation consisted of history along with International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS), digital rectal examination (DRE), transabdominal ultrasonography to measure prostate volume, intravesical prostatic protrusion & post voidal residual (PVR) urine and pressure-flow studies to detect bladder outflow obstruction (BOO). Statistical analysis included Unpaired ‘t’ test, Chisquare test and Spearman’s Rank correlation test. Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the correlation of PV and IPP with BOO. Mean prostate volume was significantly larger in bladder outlet obstructed patients (P<0.05). Mean IPP was significantly greater in obstructed patients (P<0.001). Area under ROC curve was 0.700 for PV and 0.821 for IPP. Prostate volume & intravesical prostatic protrusion measured through transabdominal ultrasonography are noninvasive and accessible method that significantly correlates with bladder outlet obstruction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and the correlation of IPP is much more stronger than that of prostate volume. Introduction Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in elderly men. The prevalence of histological BPH increases with age and appears in approximately 40% of men aged 50- 60 years and in approximately 90% of men aged more than 80 years1. Benign prostatic hyperplasia may lead to prostatic enlargement, bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). But the symptoms and obstruction do not entirely depend on prostate’s size. In contrast, intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) has been found to correlate with BOO2. IPP is a morphological change due to overgrowth of prostatic median and lateral lobes into the bladder and may lead to diskinetic movement of bladder during voiding. This IPP would cause more obstruction than if there were no protrusion and just enlargement of lateral lobes, as the strong bladder contraction could force open a channel between the lobes3. Several studies have previously demonstrated that the ultrasonographic measurement of IPP is able to detect BOO in BPH patients quickly and non-invasively4. This study was designed to diagnose BOO through non-invasive methods and aimed to define the correlationDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmrcb.v38i1.10446  Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2012; 38: 14-17

Introduction: Benign prostatic Hyperplasia is a common disorder and cause of morbidity in the ageing men. The evaluation symptoms and the bother associated with it are important for management. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Quality of life (QOL) and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BII) are practiced to quantify the severity of the disease. The size of prostate gland does not correlate with lower urinary tract symptoms. Correlation among above scoring is also not clear. Aim of the study is to evaluate correlation of prostate volume with International Prostate Symptom Score, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index and prostate size.Methods: Prospective study. Ninety-eight patients were included. Patients were assessed preoperatively with the International Prostate Symptom Score, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index and prostate volumes by trans abdominal ultrasound.Results: The mean age was 66.7  ± 7.3 years (50- 84) the mean IPSS, QOL, BII and prostate volumes were 23.6 ±6.0, 5.1 ± 0.9, 7.1±2.4 and 47.5±16.63 respectively. There was positive correlation between the IPSS and BII, IPSS and QOL and BII and  QOL (rs= 0.89, 0.585 and 0.530 respectively) and no correlation between IPSS and BII with prostatic weight. (rs= -0.04 and -0.07 respectively).Conclusion: Management of the benign prostate hyperplasia should be considered on the bother symptoms and not on the size of the prostate.Journal of Society of Surgeons of Nepal Vol.17(1) 2014: 6-10

Abstract Purpose: To investigate the clinical significance of the intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) index in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients to clarify its diagnostic value in predicting the clinical and structural abnormalities of the prostate. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study, we include every man older than 50 years old with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), predominantly voiding or obstructive, suggestive of BPH. The patients were evaluated to determine the following indices: IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) Index, QoL (quality of life), prostate volume (PV) and postvoid residual urine (PVR), serum PSA level, and the maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) obtained by uroflowmetry. Subsequently, the assessment of the IPP index was undertaken by transabdominal ultrasonography. The categorization of the IPP index was done into 3 grades: grade one (below 5 mm), grade two (between 5 and 10 mm), and grade three (greater than 10 mm). Results: The significant direct correlation between the intravesical prostatic protrusion and international prostate symptom score, quality of life, prostate volume, postvoid residual urine, and serum PSA as well as inversely with the maximum urinary flow rate was confirmed both before and after the medical treatment. Also, the need for surgical intervention increased significantly with increasing IPP levels. Conclusion: The intravesical prostatic protrusion can be used to evaluate and predict the severity of symptoms and outcomes in patients with clinical BPH.
