Profil clinique, prise en charge et facteurs pronostiques de l’hypertrophie benigne de La Prostate a l’hopital la Croix de Zinvie, Benin : etude retrospective portant sur 588 cas

Background

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among ageing men and a leading cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in sub-Saharan Africa, where delayed diagnosis remains a major challenge. In Benin, published data are scarce, particularly from La Croix Hospital of Zinvié. This study aimed to characterise the clinical profile, management patterns, and prognostic factors of therapeutic failure in BPH based on a retrospective cohort of 588 patients collected between 2021 and 2025.
