When trying to remember benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) assessment, think of the bunny plum and hiker-plates being supervised by the assess-man&nbsp;at a carnival where players are competing against each other in a water shooting game&hellip; but they&rsquo;re using urine instead!&nbsp;The first contestant, the greater than old (50) cent man represents the common characteristic that BPH occurs in men over 50. He is having trouble playing the game due to an enlarged prostate gland, shown by his enlarged prostate-plum, which is causing him urinary retention, shown by his bladder being full of urine. These findings are common in BPH, along with a weak urine stream, shown by the dripping urine due to compression of the urethra. Off to the side, three other contestants are trying their luck at the &ldquo;FUN&rdquo; game, which is the acronym to help you remember urinary issues with BPH. F is for frequency, shown by the guy peeing a frequency wave. U is for urgency, the second guy urgently squeezing his knees. N is for nocturia, the nocturnal-moon-urinating and winning the game. So let&rsquo;s wrap it up, BPH frequently occurs in men over 50, presents as an enlarged prostate gland, results in urinary retention, and a weak urine stream. The acronym &ldquo;FUN&rdquo; stands for frequency, urgency, and nocturia, which are common symptoms of BPH.&nbsp;

It's a fun night playing fair games, and this stuffed bunny plum is being handed over to the hiker with plates, as a prize. &nbsp;But it doesn't want to be his prize, so it kicks him in the prostate. &nbsp;Greater than (50) cent loves fair games, but he's gettin' a little too old to play. &nbsp;His enlarged prostate-plum squeezes his urethra, causing urine to be retained in his bladder, and a weak, dripping stream of urine is all he can muster. &nbsp;He'll sit out this round of the FUN fair game, which is basically a peeing contest. &nbsp;Hit the target with a steady stream of urine and raise your letter to the top to win. &nbsp;But everyone here has BPH, so this particular game is a challenge. &nbsp;At the F, a man struggles with accuracy and pees a frequency wave all over place. &nbsp;The second contestant at U really wants to play. &nbsp;In fact, he urgently has to pee, but he can't, so he just urgently squeezes his knees together. &nbsp;Beneath the N, the Nocturnal moon uses its gravity to slingshot a stream of urine, all the way to first place.
