MVP Manifesto

This essential summary, titled "Man vs Prostate," authored by Dr. Wayne Kuang, presents a manifesto advocating for a paradigm shift in the management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Benign Prostatic Obstruction (BPO). It argues for a bladder-centric approach, emphasizing the preservation of bladder health and preventing late-stage complications rather than solely focusing on symptomatic relief through medication. The text introduces actionable tools such as the MVP Five Stages of Bladder Health,  the MVP Triangle of Triage and the MVP Trident of "Urodynamics" ...to better identify and manage at-risk individuals. Furthermore, it proposes an evolved model of Shared Decision-Making 3.0 that includes the bladder's condition as a crucial factor and critiques the over-reliance on medications as merely temporizing measures that do not address the underlying mechanical obstruction.
