Opis

Benign prostate syndrome (BPS) affects more than half of all men over the age of 50. It is often suppressed for a long time, especially because the corresponding examinations are shied away from. Therapy is varied, and many treatment options have been added in recent years that can help improve symptoms. These options advertise themselves primarily as avoiding the dreaded side effects of surgery: Incontinence, impotence and loss of ejaculation.

This book provides an overview of all currently available treatment options for BPH and targeted diagnostics. Under the leadership of the renowned editors, many experts have compiled their knowledge in this practical book. Differential diagnostics with imaging and urodynamics are explained, and the many ways of therapy from watchful waiting to drug therapy to surgery are discussed and the advantages and disadvantages pointed out. A separate chapter is devoted to prevention. In addition, myths that still prevail in many places as "expert opinion" are discussed.

 A practical book for every urologist!
