The prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia increases with increasing age. The growing number of elderly men in the population will cause a marked increase in the number of men suffering from this condition. The magnitude of the problem necessitates close cooperation between urologists and general practitioners in future in order to take care of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The purpose of the present survey is to present guidelines for general practitioners to enable them to diagnose this condition and to present the various alternative treatments currently available. Patients with mild and modest symptoms do not need to be referred to an urologist and can be taken care of by the general practitioners themselves.
良性前列腺增生的患病率随年龄增长而增加。人口中老年男性数量的增加将导致患此病的男性人数显著上升。鉴于该问题的严重性，未来泌尿外科医生和全科医生需要密切合作，以便照顾良性前列腺增生患者。本次调查的目的是为全科医生提供指导方针，使其能够诊断此病，并介绍目前可用的各种替代治疗方法。症状轻微和中度的患者无需转诊给泌尿外科医生，可由全科医生自行照料。
