Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: The diseases of prostate gland are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality among adult males worldwide. The most frequently encountered diseases affecting prostate are prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic cancer. Limited studies have been done regarding prostatic disorders and its increasing frequency hence this study attempts to evaluate the incidence of prostatic disorders, especially in elderly people and to correlate presenting complaints with prostatic disorders. Methodology: This prospective, observational study was conducted for a period of two months from May to June, 2015. Patients visiting to urology OPD with prostatic disorders were recruited in the study. A performa was prepared and relevant data collected. Clinical diagnosis was made on the basis of history and examination followed by confirmation on histopathological examination of prostate tissue. Results: A total of 51 patients were included in the study in the age range of 49-80years. The most common diagnosis among patients was benign prostatic hyperplasia. The mean age of patients in our study was 69.85±4.63 years and mean serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were 17.38±66.50 ng/ml. The patients with prostatic carcinoma had a significantly (p<0.05) higher serum PSA level. Among all patients there was a significant correlation of symptoms of increased frequency of urination, urgency, burning during micturition, intermittent stream formation and urinary retention with BPH. Conclusion: Benign prostatic hyperplasia was the most common prostatic lesion occurring commonly after sixties and with increased frequency of micturition as the most common complaint. After BPH, prostatic adenocarcinoma was found to be the second commonest lesion occurring mostly in the same age group and with similar presenting complaints as in BPH.
