Rationale in the identified body system: Based on the National Institute Diabetic and Digestive and diabetes and digestive and kidney disease (NIDDK), men over 40-year-old with associated risk factor and family history of benign prostatic hyperplasia are prevalence of developing urological conditions. Urology was selected as the body system based on the patient chief compliant of dribbling, discomfort pain after voiding and the presence of blood after intercourse, which are all signs and symptoms of the three-differential diagnosis. The patient also has associated risk factors such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, age, obesity, lack of physical exercise and African American descent (NIDDK, 2021a). Differential Diagnosis: For proper diagnosis and treatment, it is essential to be able to differentiate and identify the origins of each condition using the patient’s physical exam, medical history, and chief complaint. The following are the three differential diagnoses. 1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) (N40.0) 2. Acute Prostatitis (N41.0) 3. Malignant neoplasm of prostate (C61) The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland that produces prostate fluid to aid in the transfer of semen. Prostate fluid is an essential component in a man’s fertility. The urethra is the mode that transfer semen and urine out of the body through the penis (NIDDK, 2018). Benign prostatic hyperplasia, acute prostatitis and malignant neoplasm are all abnormal conditions of the prostate that originate from different origins. Many of the sign and symptoms along with risk factors of these conditions may overlap making it difficult to diagnose. Understanding the pathophysiology and knowing the risk factors, demographics, occurrences, and clinical presentation of each condition can assist in narrowing the diagnose for proper treatment. Pathophysiology: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterized by increase proliferation of epithelial cell and smooth muscle with the prostatic resulting in hyperplasia and an enlargement of prostate (Lokeshwar, S. D., el. at, 2019). As the prostate gland enlarges it presses against the urethra decreasing urine and prostate fluid flow. The pressure thickens and weakens the bladder wall decreasing ability to completely empty out the bladder resulting in urine residue (NIDDK,
