We evaluated the quality of life of 50 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy on a waiting list for transurethral resection of the prostate. The patients had a median age of 68 years (range: 48-84 years) and had been on the waiting list for a median of eight months (range: 2-36 months). Patients were assessed using the Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy Health-Related Quality of Life Survey Questionnaire. All patients had disagreeable urinary symptoms that interfered with their normal activities, for example, 92% of patients were troubled by disturbed sleep. The patients also had worries about the possibility of prostatic cancer (40%) and a perceived deterioration in sexual performance during the preceding year (56%). Eleven of the 14 patients who were re-evaluated one year after a transurethral resection of the prostate were completely free of any bothersome urinary symptoms.
我们评估了50名等待前列腺经尿道切除术的良性前列腺增生患者的生活质量。这些患者的中位年龄为68岁（范围：48 - 84岁），在等待名单上的中位时间为8个月（范围：2 - 36个月）。使用良性前列腺增生健康相关生活质量调查问卷对患者进行评估。所有患者都有令人不适的泌尿系统症状，这些症状干扰了他们的正常活动，例如，92%的患者受睡眠障碍困扰。患者还担心前列腺癌的可能性（40%）以及在前一年感觉性功能下降（56%）。在前列腺经尿道切除术后一年接受重新评估的14名患者中，有11名完全没有任何令人烦恼的泌尿系统症状。
