Differential Diagnosis
-
-
Lower Urinary Tract
Urinary Bladder
Neurogenic bladder
Eliminated: No history of neurological conditions or symptoms like urinary retention associated with neural deficits.
-
Cystitis
Supported: Dysuria and findings of UTI in urinalysis (positive leukocyte esterase, nitrites, and bacteria). Likely a complication secondary to BPH.
Bladder Stone
Eliminated: No evidence of stones on ultrasound; symptoms are gradual, not sudden.
-
Urethra
Stricture
No history of trauma, catheterization, or prior surgery; no evidence of weak urinary stream due to mechanical stricture.
Urethral Calculi
Eliminated: No radiological evidence of stones in the urethra, no sudden-onset pain during urination.

Prostate
Prostatitis

BPH
Learning Issues
-
Pathophysiology
Increase in Hormones (DHT, Testosterone, Estrogen)
-
-
-
Treatment & Management
Medication
-
5α-Reductase Inhibitors:
Menghambat konversi testosteron menjadi dihidrotestosteron (DHT),
mengurangi ukuran prostat, dan memperlambat progresi BPH
-
-
Prostate cancer
Mildly elevated PSA (4.6 ng/mL), smooth prostate contour on ultrasound, no hard nodules on DRE.
Diagnostic Approach
Physical Examination
-
DRE
-
Absence of nodules or tenderness (Rules out prostatitis & prostate cancer which are commonly associated with hard nodules, tenderness, or irregular consistency.)
Supporting Diagnosis
-
Urinalysis
-
Nitrites and leukocyte esterase positive, leukocytes (20–30/LPB), and bacteria present
Indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI), which is a common complication in patients with urinary retention from BPH.
