ABSTRACT = {The past decade has profoundly changed how physicians 
manage patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 
The concepts of symptom indices, symptom complexes, 
fl ow rates, prostate-specifi c antigen (PSA), prostate size 
and new medical approaches supported by new clinical 
studies, have provided family practitioners as well as 
specialists with evidence-based management algorithms to 
treat BPH. Men with BPH most often visit a physician due 
to their partner’s urging because of the many symptoms, 
with the most bothersome being nocturia. Today, primary 
care physicians are the gatekeepers for diagnosing and 
managing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men. 
They need to be aware of long term negative consequences 
if these major symptoms are not treated early.},
