What is the most common cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Hormones from the testis may be the main factor. For example, as men age, the amount of active testosterone in the blood declines. Estrogen levels stay the same. BPH may occur when these hormone changes trigger prostate cell growth.
Is smoking a risk factor of benign prostatic hyperplasia?[ 15 31] Nicotine in cigarettes has been shown to lead to increased DTH level in the prostate and increased sympathetic nervous system activity, contributing greatly to BPH and LUTS.
What hormone causes benign prostatic hyperplasia?Prostatic enlargement depends on the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In the prostate gland, type II 5-alpha-reductase metabolizes circulating testosterone into DHT, which works locally, not systemically. DHT binds to androgen receptors in the cell nuclei, potentially resulting in BPH.
