Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms in aging men, worsening their quality of life. Primary care physicians are uniquely positioned to screen for BPH, conduct a timely diagnostic workup, and if indicated, initiate medical therapy. A number of safe and effective medical treatments are available to alleviate symptoms, delay disease progression, and lessen the chance of needing surgery for BPH.
