Benign prostate hyperplasia

Benign prostate hyperplasia is a common and treatable medical pathology. Different options for treatment are available, depending on the patient’s condition and history. Options for treatment

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the non-malignant proliferation of epithelial and stromal cells in the prostate gland. It is a gradually progressive, histologic change that leads to the enlargement of the prostate, primarily in older men. The prevalence of histologic BPH is estimated at 90% among men in their 70s.

BPH commonly presents with obstructive and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms, including incomplete emptying, a weak urine stream, and urinary hesitancy, frequency, urgency, nocturia, and incontinence. The condition is diagnosed based on the patient’s clinical history and digital rectal examination (DRE) findings, and confirmed by ultrasound examination and prostate biopsy.

By offering a wide range of prostatic catheters in different materials, shapes and sizes, Coloplast is a major solutions provider in this area. Innovative Coloplast solutions offer significant benefits, including more comfortable catheter insertion and removal and technologies that allow for evacuation of the bladder after transurethral resection of the prostate or bladder tumours.

Urodynamic testing

Typically conducted by urologists, urogynecologists or urology nurses, urodynamic testing provides physicians with the information they need to diagnose a patient's incontinence and recommend the best treatment options available. Urodynamic treatment options

Urodynamic investigations assess the function of the bladder and the bladder outflow tract (urethra). During a test, the bladder is filled and then emptied while pressure readings are taken from the bladder and the abdomen. The goal is to replicate the patient’s bladder symptoms, examine them and determine their cause.

Urodynamics is used to diagnose:

Stress urinary incontinence
Urge urinary incontinence
Mixed incontinence (stress and urge urinary incontinence)

Urodynamics is particularly important if surgery is being considered, as it can help make sure the correct procedure is performed.

Coloplast offers a wide range of single-use devices for urodynamic examinations. Made from neoplex, PVC or polyurethane, our catheter range covers the majority of urodynamic exams, including urethra-cystomanometry, cystomanometry, pressure flow rate and abdominal pressure. The range is completed by a variety of useful accessories.

The BoNee bladder injection needle

The BoNee needle is used to deliver injectable materials such as botulinum toxin into the urinary bladder wall during transurethral endoscopic procedures. Read more about bladder injection needle

When people who suffer from a strong urge to pass urine do not respond to other medication, they may be given a bladder injection.

Injecting botulinum toxin into the bladder wall can significantly relax the bladder and ease the symptoms. The procedure is well tolerated, but needs to be repeated every 4 to 9 months. Recent FDA approvals have opened this treatment option to patients suffering from idiopathic neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) and overactive bladder (OAB).

The Coloplast BoNee needle was developed in partnership with physicians to deliver botulinum toxin and other low viscosity medication precisely where intended through a rigid or flexible cystoscope.
