Difference between Anticholinergic and Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Anticholinergic vs. Benign prostatic hyperplasia

An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called prostate enlargement, is a noncancerous increase in size of the prostate.

Similarities between Anticholinergic and Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Anticholinergic and Benign prostatic hyperplasia have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Caffeine, Central nervous system, Muscarinic antagonist, Orthostatic hypotension, Smooth muscle tissue, Tolterodine, Urinary incontinence, Urinary retention, Urinary tract infection.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Muscarinic antagonist

A muscarinic receptor antagonist (MRA) is a type of anticholinergic agent that blocks the activity of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.
