“…Although there have been reports indicating both positive [ 25] and inverse [ 26] associations between BMI and risk of BPH, the results of the present study agree with those of most previous investigations [ 13, 16, 18, 21], in which no association was found.…”

“…These inverse associations are unlikely but not inconceivable. Tobacco smoking has been reported to be inversely related to testosterone levels and prostate mass [ 25, 30–32], and ethanol is known to affect liver function and steroid hormone metabolism.…”

Abstract:The Japanese Urological Association has developed Clinical Guidelines for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) for men with suspected BPH. This article is an English translation of the abridged version of the Guidelines. The Guidelines were formulated on the basis of evidence retrieved from the PubMed database between 1995 and 2009, as well as other relevant sources. The target patients of these Guidelines are men with suspected BPH, and the target users are urologists. A mandatory assessment should include a medical history, a physical examination, the completion of symptom and quality of life questionnaires, a urinalysis, a prostate ultrasonography, measurement of serum prostate specific antigen and postvoid residual urine, and uroflowmetry. Optional tests include keeping a bladder diary, the measurement of serum creatinine, and upper urinary tract ultrasonography. Care should be taken to not overlook coexisting diseases such as infections or malignancies that may obscure the diagnosis. Treatment should consist of conservative therapy or the use of medications such as a1-adrenoceptor antagonists, or both. The use of 5a-reductase inhibitors or anticholinergic agents should be considered in patients with an enlarged prostate (>30 mL) or overactive bladder symptoms (Overactive Bladder Symptom Score Ն6), respectively. Surgical intervention is indicated when non-surgical treatments fail to provide sufficient symptomatic relief, and when bladder outlet obstruction is highly suspected.

Serum T and E2 had significant positive correlation with measured PV especially in larger prostates. This result seems to correspond with the conventional theory that T and E2 have an etiological effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia. DHEAS did not show direct correlation with PV, however it appeared to suppress the role of T and E2 on benign prostatic hyperplasia growth. DHEAS might be a key to understanding the etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia with aging.
