Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition characterized by the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, primarily affecting aging men. Early diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention and improved treatment outcomes. However, achieving early diagnosis presents numerous challenges.The non-specific symptomatology of early-stage BPH, often overlapping with other urological conditions or attributed to normal aging, can lead to delayed medical attention. Asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic cases further compound the problem, as patients may not recog-nize the need for evaluation until symptoms worsen. In conclusion, early diagnosis of BPH is essential for optimal man-agement. Overcoming the challenges of non-specific symptoms, asymptomatic cases, technological limitations, and socie-tal reluctance is paramount to achieving early detection. By promoting awareness and adopting a proactive approach, we can enhance early diagnosis, leading to improved outcomes and quality of life for individuals with BPH.

Key words

benign prostatic hyperplasia, diagnosis, early diagnosis.
