Evaluation of Urinary Bladder in Patientswith Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Using Ultrasonography

Abstract

This study was descriptivecross sectional study conducted in Khartoum state, Sudan, in the radiology department of Sharg Alneel hospital.The study carried out during the period from November 2016 to February 2017. The study aimed to evaluate the urinary bladder in patient with prostatic hyper plasia using ultrasonography. There were55 males were scanned usingultrasound, all patients had age above 49 years, any patient had residual prostateafter prostatectomy andurethral catheterization was excluded from this study. All these patients were scanned trans abdomen by ultrasound using maindry machine ofcurvilinearprobe have a frequency from 3.5 to 5 MHZ to measured prostate volume ,urinary bladder volume pre and post micturition and urinary bladder wall thickness using. The data was collected using spatialdata collection sheet and analyzed using theStatistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS (program. The study found that most affected age group by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH ) 60 to 65 yearsand stander devotion)17.9 (also the study foundthat minimum prostate volume (33.3)ml, maximum (200.6) mlthe mean(83)mland stander devotion)36.6(,also the mean volume of urinary bladder pre maturation (300)mland the mean volume of urinary bladder post maturation (78)ml, also found urinary bladderwall thicknessincreased in(5.5%)of patient and there waspositive significant correlation between age progress and prostatic volume and there was alinear relationship between the prostate volume and urinary bladder post micturition. The study concluded that the benign prostatic hyper plasia caused increased in the urinary bladder volume post micturition and urinary bladder wall thickness. Studyrecommended thatultrasonography must be used as routine check-up, follow up to help diagnosis, treatment and control of benign prostatic hypertrophy.
