The article discusses the dynamics of morbidity and risk factors that influence the occurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). An increase in the number of diseases of the genitourinary system, among which prostate diseases account for about 25%, is an important medical and social problem, as the symptoms of BPH significantly reduce the quality of life of men. The main parameters of the quality of life of patients with BPH include not only the severity of the signs of the disease, but also the mental well-being and self-awareness of physiological and psychological well-being. Early diagnosis and elimination of risk factors for the development of BPH makes it possible to start timely treatment. Among surgical approaches, transurethral methods are currently the most common: transurethral resection, transurethral enucleation with a bipolar loop and bipolar vaporesection of prostate.
