Benign prostatic hypertrophy is the cause of urinary outflow obstruction in the majority of men older than 50 years. Even if the pathophysiology of BPH is multifactorial, its development needs testicular androgens and aging. Androgen deprivation is the only approach that may reduce the hyperplastic state. This article reviews the endocrine aspect of BPH and the various hormonal treatment strategies, concerning clinical efficacy and side effects.

D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
