3. Anatomy
The prostate is a male genital organ located below the bladder, in front of
the rectum and enveloping the posterior urethra. Its shape is like a candlenut
with a size of 4x3x2.5 cm and weighs approximately 20 grams (Purnomo,
2012). The prostate has a dense fibrous capsule and is covered by prostatic
connective tissue as part of the visceral pelvic fascia. The superior part of the
prostate is connected to the urinary bladder, while the inferior part rests on the
urogenital diaphragm. The ventral surface of the prostate is separated from the
pubic symphysis by retroperitoneal fat in the retropubic space and the dorsal
surface is bordered by the ampulla recti (Moore & Agur, 2002).
Anatomically, the prostate is closely related to the bladder, urethra, vas
deferens, and seminal vesicles. The prostate is located above the pelvic
diaphragm so that the urethra is fixed to the diaphragm, it can be torn along
with the diaphragm if injured. The prostate can be palpated on digital rectal
examination (Sjamsuhidajat et al., 2012). The prostate gland is divided into
several zones, including: peripheral zone, central zone, transitional zone,
anterior fibromuscular zone and periurethral zone. The peripheral zone is the
largest zone, consisting of 70% glandular tissue while the central zone consists
of 25% glandular tissue and the transitional zone consists of only 5% glandular
tissue. Most cases of BPH occur in the transitional zone, while the growth of
prostate carcinoma originates from the peripheral zone (Junqueira, 2007).
The prostate gland contains a fair amount of fibrous tissue and smooth
muscle tissue. This gland is penetrated by the urethra and both ejaculatory
ducts, and is surrounded by a venous plexus. Its regional lymph nodes are the
hypogastric, sacral, obturator, and external iliac lymph nodes (Sjamsuhidajat et
al., 2012).
4. Physiology
1) Seminal Vesicles
Throughout the seminal vesicles, which are convoluted sacs that empty
into the ejaculatory ducts, they produce 7a thick, alkaline fluid that is rich in
fructose that serves to protect and nourish sperm, which increases the pH of the
ejaculate and contains prostaglandins that cause spermatozoa to move faster, so
they reach the fallopian tubes faster. More than half of the seminal vesicle
secretion is semen (Wibowo, 2012).
Seminal fluid is the fluid in which spermatozoa swim. This fluid provides
nutrients (food) to spermatozoa and helps spermatozoa motility. After traveling
from the seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts to the urethra, prostate
secretions and secretions from the bulbourethral glands are added here. Finally,
this seminal fluid is ejaculated during sexual arousal. This prostate secretion is
the largest component of seminal fluid (Wibowo, 2012).
2) Prostate Gland
The prostate is a cone-shaped structure that is 4 cm long, 3 cm wide and
2 cm thick with a weight of approximately 8 grams. The prostate surrounds the
upper part of the urethra and is located in direct connection with the cervix of
the urinary bladder. The prostate is composed of glandular tissue and
involuntary muscle fibers and is contained within a fibrous capsule (Wibowo,
2012).
The prostate is a single doughnut-shaped gland about the size of a peach
pit. It surrounds the urethra only second to the bladder. It is enclosed by a thick
connective tissue capsule, consisting of 20-30 tubuloalveolar glandular
compounds embedded in a mass (stroma) of smooth muscle and dense
connective tissue (Wibowo, 2012).
The prostate muscle tissue functions to assist in ejaculation. Prostate
secretion is produced continuously and excreted into the urine. Approximately
1 ml is produced daily, but the amount depends on testosterone levels, because
this hormone stimulates the secretion. Prostate secretion has a pH of 6.6 and is
composed like plasma, but contains additional ingredients such as cholesterol,
citric acid and an enzyme hyaluronidase. Prostate secretion is added to sperm
and seminal fluid when sperm and seminal fluid pass through the urethra
(Wibowo, 2012).
Prostate gland secretions enter the prostatic urethra through several
prostatic ducts when smooth muscle contracts during ejaculation. It plays a role
in activating sperm and is responsible for as much as one-third of the volume
of semen. It is a milky, slightly acidic fluid containing citrate (source
nutrition),several enzymes (fibrinolysin, hyaluronidase, acid phosphatase), and
prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The prostate has a reputation as a health
wrecker (perhaps reflected in the common mispronunciation of "prostate")
(Wibowo, 2012).
The prostate is often enlarged in middle-aged or elderly men, and this
enlargement due to other pressure caused by anything on the urethral sphincter
or the urethra itself, will cause acute urinary retention. Such conditions can be
cured by inserting a catheter into the urinary bladder or performing a
prostatectomy in certain patients (Wibowo, 2012).
8. Supporting investigation
a. Laboratory
1) Urinalysis / Urine Sediment
Urine sediment is examined to look for possible infection or
inflammation in the urinary tract. Urine culture examination is useful for
finding the type of germ that causes infection and at the same time
determining the sensitivity of the germ to several antimicrobials tested and
can reveal the presence of leukocyturia and hematuria. Therefore, in
suspected urinary tract infection, urine culture examination is necessary,
and if there is suspicion of bladder carcinoma, urine cytology examination
is necessary. In BPH patients who have experienced urinary retention and
have used a catheter, urinalysis examination is not very useful because
there is often leukocyturia or erythrocyte due to catheter installation
(Purnomo, 2014).
a) Kidney function test
Intravesical obstruction due to BPH causes disorders in the lower or
upper urinary tract. It is said that kidney failure due to BPH occurs as
much as 0.3-30% with an average of 13.6%. Kidney failure causes
thinking of post-surgical complications (25%) more often than without
kidney failure (17%), and mortality is six times higher. Therefore, this
kidney function examination is useful as an indication of the need for
imaging examination of the upper urinary tract (Purnomo, 2014).
b) PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Examination
PSA is synthesized by prostate epithelial cells and is organ specific but
not cancer specific. Serum PSA can be used to predict the course of BPH;
in this case, if the PSA level is high, it means:
a) faster prostate volume growth.
b) complaints due to BPH/worse urine stream rate.
c) more likely to develop acute urinary retention.
Serum PSA levels can increase in inflammation, after prostate
manipulation (prostate biopsy or TURP), in acute urinary retention,
catheterization, prostate malignancy, and aging. The range of PSA levels
considered normal based on age is: a. 40-49 years: 0-2.5 ng/ml; b. 50-59
years: 0-3.5 ng/ml; c. 60-69 years: 0-4.5 ng/ml; d. 70-79 years: 0-6.5
ng/ml. Although BPH is not the cause of prostate carcinoma, the BPH age
group has a higher risk of developing prostate carcinoma. PSA
examination together with digital rectal examination is superior to digital
rectal examination alone in detecting prostate carcinoma. Therefore, at this
age, PSA examination becomes very important to detect the possibility of
prostate carcinoma. Most guidelines prepared in various countries
recommend PSA examination as one of the BPH examinations
(Association of Urologists Thinks (IAUI), 2015).
a. Imaging
1) Plain Abdomen Photo
Plain abdominal X-ray is useful for looking for stones in the urinary tract,
prostate stones/calculi and sometimes can show the shadow of a bladder filled
with urine, which is a sign of urinary retention. PIV examination
(Intravenous Pyelography) can explain the possibility of: abnormalities in the
kidneys or ureters in the form of hydroureter or hydronephrosis, estimate the
size of the prostate gland as indicated by the presence of prostate indentation
(pressure of the bladder by the prostate gland) or the ureter distally, and
complications that occur in the bladder, namely trabeculation, diverticula, or
bladder sacculation. Imaging examination of BPH patients using PIV or USG,
it turns out that 70-75% do not show any abnormalities in the upper urinary
tract; while those who show abnormalities, only a small portion (10%) require
different treatment from the others. Therefore, upper urinary tract imaging is
not recommended as an examination for BPH, unless the initial examination
finds:
Hematuria.

Assessment: Ask the patient about the intensity and characteristics of pain,
especially in the abdominal area or the area around the surgical procedure,
and monitor vital signs.
Intervention:
o Teach relaxation and deep breathing techniques to reduce pain.
o Assist the patient into a comfortable position that reduces pressure on the
painful area.
o Administer analgesics as directed by the physician and monitor response
to medication.
Evaluation: Check the patient's pain scale after the intervention and note
changes in pain level.
