| description | Introduction: The benign prostatic hyperplasia is a frequent disease that increases its incidence with the age. Its pathogenesis is not still clear and its typical clinical pattern is the progressive urinary obstruction with loss of life quality.
Objectives: To evaluate the predictive value of manual flowmetry in the definition of the therapeutic behavior in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and to determine the evolution of these patients as time goes by.
Method: A descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study of 50 patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia was carried out, from the clinical and imaging points of view, who were assisted in Saturnino Lora Torres Teaching Provincial Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2017 to the same period in 2019.
Results: The manual flowmetry carried out demonstrated at the beginning that 62.0 % of the sample had a rate of average urinary flow below the physiologic range and 22.0 % was in bordering or doubtful range. Thirty seven patients received surgical treatment (74.0 %); thirteen patients (26.0 %) received medication and with clinical follow up. The transurethral resection of prostate was carried out with a quick recovery of the patients and there were complications just in a 2.0 %.
Conclusions: The manual flowmetry was useful to determine what to do in most of the studied patients and in the short term follow up of those who were operated. |
