Background: The aim of this prospective study is to analyse the factors influencing development of trans urethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome in benign Prostatic hyperplasia patients with various co morbid medical illness in Thanjavur Medical College Hospital, from February 2015 to January 2017.Methods: This prospective study was done among 38 benign hyperplasia prostate patients with various co morbid medical illness underwent TURP. Pre-operative and post-operative serum sodium levels correlated with signs and symptoms developed in various prostate gland sizes, resection times and volume of irrigation fluids.Results: Sodium level has gone down to 14 meq/L, gone up to 2 meq/L post-operatively. Major fluctuations in serum sodium was seen in prostate size more than 50 grams, resection time more than 40 mints, irrigant volume more than 24 litres. Mean sodium decrease was increased when gland size was increased, resection time was increased, irrigant volume was increased.Conclusions: In renal insufficiency patients, it is safe to complete the procedure within 40 minutes and restrict irrigant volume 15 litres, in coronary artery disease patients it is safe to restrict irrigant fluid volume less than 20 litres. In Diabetes Mellitus patients, it is safe to restrict irrigant fluid volume less than 24 litres. In hypertensive patients, it is safe to restrict the resection time less than 45 minutes. In patients with Diabetes and hypertension, it is safe to restrict the resection time less than 40 minutes and irrigant fluid less than 20 litres.

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.

Benign enlargement of the prostate gland does not always cause symptoms or obstruction to the flow of urine. Old terminology, for example, ‘prostatism’ can therefore be misleading, and the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS), the International consultation on BPH and the International Continence Society accept the definitions given below:Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a histological diagnosis. The first pathological signs appear under the age of 40 years, followed by a rapid increase in prevalence with age; 80% of 80-year-olds have evidence of BPH. The onset of BPH is dependent on the presence of functioning testes and increasing age. It is characterized by a combination of atrophy and proliferation in both glandular and stromal tissue. Although BPH is detectable in most elderly men, it does not always cause enlargement of the prostate, symptoms, or obstruction to the flow of urine.

Background: Lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) are a very common disease in elderly men .The incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia is age related.Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of Tamsulosin and Terazosin in the treatment of symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.Methods: This was a prospective study carried out in the Department of Urology, Chittagong Medial College Hospital, Chittagong, Bangladesh during the period of July to December 2014. Total 40 patients of 45-80 years of age were consequently selected according to inclusion criteria. After completion of baseline clinical evaluation and investigations, participants were divided into two groups, group A and group B. Group A (n=20) was given Terazosin 1mg daily for 3 days at bed time and then 2 mg daily at bed time for 2 months. Group B (n=20) was given Tamsulosin, 0.4 mg per day for 2 months. Efficacy was evaluated of each group after 2 month follow up and lastly a comparison was made between them. The parameters monitored were International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) Maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) and Post Voidal Residual Volume (PVR). Tamsulosin 0.4 mg and Terazosin 2 mg once daily for 8 weeks both are effective in relieving symptoms of BPH but Tamsulosin is superior to Terazosin in improvement of total IPSS (p<0.001) and Qmax (p<0.01) PVR (p<0.01) at the end point.Results: Outcome of parameters at follow up after 2 months. Tamsulosin group showed significant improvement of IPSS (p<0.05) PVR (p<0.001) and Qmax (p<0.001) than Terazosin. The incidence of adverse events by administration of Tamsulosin was less than that by Terazosin.Conclusion: Tamsulosin appears to have more efficacy and safety than Terazosin in symptomatic BPH.Chatt  Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.15 (1); Jan 2016; Page 17-21
