AB  - Many  terms  are  used  to  describe  benign  prostate  disease,  and  often  interchangeably.  Precision  is  important,  however,  because  the  conditions  overlap  only  partially  (Figure  50-1).  Benign  prostatic  hyperplasia  (BPH)  is  a  histological  condition  characterized  by  benign  proliferation  of  stromal  and/or  epithelial  prostate  tissue.  Benign  prostate  enlargement  (BPE)  occurs  in  about  half  of  men  with  BPH,  and  is  quantified  by  milliliters  of  prostate  tissue.  Bladder  outlet  obstruction  (BOO)  occurs  in  only  a  subset  of  men  with  BPE.  Older  men  often  have  voiding  symptoms  (urgency,  frequency,  nocturia,  slow  stream,  hesitancy,  incomplete  emptying,  postvoiding  dribbling,  and  incontinence),  which  maybe  related  to  BPH,  BPE,  BOO,  age-related  physiologic  changes  in  the  lower  urinary  tract,  or  comorbid  conditions  and  medications.  Therefore,  voiding  symptoms  are  best  described  by  the  nonspecific  term  lower  urinary  tract  symptoms  (LUTS).
