Relación del residuo postmiccional y la protusión prostática intravesical en la hiperplasia prostática benigna en el HOSNAG del período enero 2019 – enero 2023.

Abstract

The prostate is a fibromuscular and glandular organ located in the male pelvic cavity, whose weight is 20 grams in adults. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is excessive growth of the gland due to changes associated with age and continuous exposure to androgens. It is currently a public health problem as it is a pathology that affects men from the fourth decade, the worldwide prevalence is approximately 50%. Clinically it manifests with urinary symptoms. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between postvoid residue and prostatic profusion in these patients, in which a descriptive study was carried out in patients with BPH treated at the Naval Hospital of Guayaquil from 2019 to 2023. Among the results found that the prevalence of the disease is 65%, grade II intravesical prostatic protrusion is the most frequent with 39%, however, urinary symptoms become more evident in type I in 41%. The obtained results agree with what is stated in the literature in terms of prevalence estimation but differ in others due to their purposes. In conclusion, urinary symptoms are the most frequent reasons for consultation in the urological consultation and that they are the beginning of suspicion of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
