Worldwide, in Africa and Ethiopia prevalence of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia among patients with lower urinary tract symptoms was 26.2%, 44.2%, and 33.4% respectively. However, there is limited evidence regarding Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in southern Ethiopia and it was not well explored. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia among adult male patients visiting Wolaita Sodo University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, southern Ethiopia 2022. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July to September 2022. A systematic random sample technique was employed to select 376 participants. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire and entered, cleaned, coded, and analyzed using SPSS Version 25.0. To describe the study respondents, descriptive statistics were used. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted and an adjusted odd ratio with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was utilized to quantify the degree of association, and statistical significance was declared at p-value < 0.05. A total of 376 male patients admitted to the surgical department of the Urology ward were included in this study and the magnitude of Prostatic Hyperplasia was 21.3%; 95% CI: 17.3, 25.8. The vegetable consumption, fruit consumption, physical activity, sleeping time and sexual dysfunction [(AOR = 7.57, 95% CI: (2.78, 20.60)], [(AOR = 21.06,95% CI: (7.06,27.53)], [(AOR = 0.57,95% CI: (0.19, 0.67)], [(AOR = 3.23, 95% CI: (1.18,8.79)] and [(AOR = 17.05, 95% CI: (4.82,60.28)] were factors associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia respectively. The benign prostatic hyperplasia is a prevalent disease among men in this study. Sexual dysfunction, consumption of vegetables, consumption of fruits, practice of physical activity and sleeping time were factors associated with BPH. Hence, screening programs for higher-risk people to ensure the early presentation of benign prostatic hyperplasia and practicing eating balanced diets are vital areas to reduce the prevalence.
在全球范围内，非洲和埃塞俄比亚下尿路症状患者中良性前列腺增生的患病率分别为26.2%、44.2%和33.4%。然而，关于埃塞俄比亚南部良性前列腺增生的证据有限，且尚未得到充分研究。因此，本研究旨在评估2022年访问埃塞俄比亚南部沃莱塔索多大学综合专科医院的成年男性患者中良性前列腺增生的严重程度及相关因素。2022年7月至9月进行了一项基于医院的横断面研究。采用系统随机抽样技术选取376名参与者。使用结构化问卷收集数据，并使用SPSS 25.0版本进行录入、清理、编码和分析。为描述研究对象，使用了描述性统计方法。进行了双变量和多变量分析，并利用调整后的比值比及95%置信区间（CI）来量化关联程度，p值<0.05时具有统计学意义。本研究共纳入了泌尿外科病房外科收治的376名男性患者，前列腺增生的严重程度为21.3%；95% CI：17.3，25.8。蔬菜摄入量、水果摄入量、身体活动、睡眠时间和性功能障碍[（调整后比值比=7.57，95% CI：（2.78，20.60）]、[（调整后比值比=21.06，95% CI：（7.06，27.53）]、[（调整后比值比=0.57，95% CI：（0.19，0.67）]、[（调整后比值比=3.23，95% CI：（1.18，8.79）]和[（调整后比值比=17.05，95% CI：（4.82，60.28）]分别是与良性前列腺增生相关的因素。在本研究中，良性前列腺增生是男性中的一种常见疾病。性功能障碍、蔬菜摄入量、水果摄入量、身体活动情况和睡眠时间是与良性前列腺增生相关的因素。因此，针对高危人群的筛查项目以确保良性前列腺增生的早期发现，以及保持均衡饮食的习惯，是降低患病率的关键领域。
