Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Diagnosis and Treatment Clinical Practice Guideline No. 8. AHCPR Pub. No. 94-0582: February 1994

This Clinical Practice Guideline is intended to apply only to men over the age of 50 with classic symptoms of prostatism, but with no other severe or confounding medical morbidities (for example, diabetes or neurologic disease) or other known causes of voiding dysfunction (for example, urethral stricture or neurogenic bladder). BPH patients to whom the guideline applies would not be at increased risk from surgery or other recognized treatments for BPH. The BPH Guideline Panel estimated that approximately two-thirds of BPH patients who now seek evaluation of their condition would fall within the confines of the diagnostic and treatment recommendations in this Clinical Practice Guideline.
