“…In our study a majority of men with moderate to severe prostatism had never consulted their GP. This consultation rate is comparable with the survey of Wolfs et al (2) where 70% of the symptomatic men were not seen by a doctor during the previous five years. This can partly be explained by the finding that most of the men with prostatism did not feel unhappy or concerned about their urinary symptoms.…”

“…Nocturia is considered as a main cause of disturbance of sleep in men and women [3] , and it appears that many factors are involved in nocturia; nocturia may also be a manifestation of disease [4] , such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), anxiety, primary sleep disorders, overactive bladder and use of drugs [2,[5][6][7] . Previous community-based studies using questionnaires reported 2 or more episodes of nocturia in 24-45% of elderly men [8][9][10] . The rate was reported to be almost the same in elderly women [11,12] , and the overall incidence of nocturia tends to increase with age [5] .…”

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence, risk factors of nocturia and nocturia-related quality of life. Methods: Age, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), alcohol abuse and smoking were analyzed using logistic analysis. Multiple linear-regression analysis was used to identify factors predicting the score on the Nocturia Quality of Life (N-QOL) questionnaire. Results: 1,198 adults completed this study. 411 individuals (34.3%) answered that they arose for urination at least twice during the night. The incidence of nocturia increased with age from 8.6% in individuals younger than 40 to 67.7% in those older than 70. Hypertension [odds ratio (OR) 2.322; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.387–3.887] and diabetes (OR 2.298; 95% CI: 1.066–4.954) were possible risk factors for nocturia. In male individuals, BPH (OR 3.900; 95% CI: 1.890–8.049) was another risk factor. Gender was not found to be associated with nocturia. Increasing episodes of nocturia (regression coefficient: –2.564; 95% CI: –3.08 to –2.049) and decreasing total sleeping hours (regression coefficient: 1.738; 95% CI: 0.948–2.527) were independent factors predicting a significantly lower N-QOL score. Conclusions: Hypertension, diabetes and BPH are associated with nocturia, suggesting that multiple approaches are needed when treating patients with nocturia. Nocturia has a significant impact on the nocturia-related quality of life when the patient has 2 or more episodes per night.

“…3 In the United States, the prevalence of Caucasian men aged 50-79 years who were expected to meet the criteria for seeking treatment options for BPH was 6.5 out of 27 million (24%) in 2000. 4 BPH is not only prevalent in the United State 5 and Europe, [6][7][8][9][10][11] but is becoming increasingly common in Asian, 12 including Japan, 13 Korea, 14 Mainland China 15 and Hong Kong region. 16 A recent trend has emerged among BPH patients towards medical treatment, such as alpha blockers (AABs) and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5ARIs), over the former gold standard surgical procedure.…”

Chinese herbal medicine is commonly used as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but its efficacy and safety remain to be examined. To compare the efficacy and adverse events of Chinese herbal medicine alone or used adjuvantly with Western medications for BPH. Two independent reviewers searched the major electronic databases for randomized controlled trials comparing Chinese herbal medicine, either in single or adjuvant use with Western medication, with placebo or Western medication. Relevant journals and grey literature were also hand-searched. The outcome measures included changes in urological symptoms, urodynamic measures, prostate volume and adverse events. The frequency of commonly used herbs was also identified. Out of 13 922 identified citations of publications, 31 studies were included. Eleven studies with a Jadad score o3 were selected for meta-analysis. Chinese herbal medicine was superior to Western medication in improving quality of life and reducing prostate volume. The frequency of adverse events in Chinese herbal medicine was similar to that of placebo and less than that of Western medication. The evidence is too weak to support the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine for BPH due to the poor methodological quality and small number of trials included. The commonly used herbs identified here should provide insights for future clinical practice and research. Larger randomized controlled trials of better quality are needed to truly evaluate the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine.
