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.

The article presents an analysis of the current state of the prevention and medical support system for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The urgency of the problem is determined by the significant influence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) on the quality of life of the male population. The identified shortcomings of the prevention and medical support system (low rates of referral and awareness of the population, insufficiently high level of urological training of primary care physicians, weak continuity between outpatient clinics, etc.) indicate the need for changes in the system of urological care for patients with BPH. The combined use of effective preventive measures and minimally invasive surgical methods for treating BPH increases the efficiency of outpatient and inpatient institutions.

The article considers the risk factors affecting the occurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the quality of life of patients with this type of pathology. World statistics indicate that BPH is a disease of mainly elderly and senile men. The main reason leading to the development of BPH is a change in the hormonal background of males. BPH is characterized by symptoms that negatively affect the quality of life of men, causing physical and psychological discomfort. This pathology is accompanied by squeezing of the bladder, which contributes to the appearance of frequent urge to empty it, erectile dysfunction, a decrease or complete absence of sexual desire, which often leads to a decrease in self-esteem and depression. Among the main risk factors that cause BPH controllable and uncontrollable ones are distinguished. Elimination of the influence of controllable risk factors that cause BPH leads to a decrease in the rate of progression of the disease, allows timely initiation of treatment, which has a positive effect on the quality of life of men with this diagnosis.
