Ans: C, D, E
Feedback:
It is now thought that the single most important factor in the evaluation and treatment of BPH is the man's own personal experiences related to the disorder. The American Urological Association Symptom Index consists of seven questions about symptoms regarding incomplete emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia. Erectile dysfunction may develop secondary to the androgen hormone imbalances associated with BPH. Enlarged lymph nodes usually relates to a regional infection.
