Prostatitis is the most common prostate disease, resulting in more physician visits than either benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer, according to the National Institutes of Health ( ). Despite its frequency, prostatitis as a disease and as a histologic lesion is understudied ( By the Meares and Stamey culture localization procedure, in which the first voided urine, a midstream urine, the expressed prostatic secretions, and a final voided urine are compared, more than 90% of cases in patients with chronic pelvic symptoms are labeled as "nonbacterial" prostatitis or prostatodynia, both of which are thought to be incurable diseases ( The University of Washington has documented white blood cell counts as high as 38,000 per mm

Extractions: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia When men are around age 25, the prostate gland begins to grow (enlarging on the inside), and this growth continues through most of a man's life. Years later, beginning around age 40, this growth may cause a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy. How BPH develops The prostate, a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system, is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder. The prostate also surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. Scientists do not know all the prostate's functions. One of its main roles, though, is to add fluid into the urethra as sperm move through during sexual climax. This fluid helps to carry and nourish sperm, aiding in the process of conception. An enlarged prostate may be a sign of both BPH and prostate cancer. It is important to know that BPH is not cancer nor does it lead to cancer. However, it is possible for men to have both BPH and prostate cancer. Beginning at age 50, most men should have a prostate exam. Those who are in high-risk groups (eg, African-Americans and men with close family members who have had prostate cancer before age 60) should begin testing at age 45.

BPH is common. About half of all men over 50 experience some symptoms of this condition. It is not clear that BPH is a disease. It may be a natural part of the aging process in men. The enlargement is usually harmless, but as the gland gets bigger, it may squeeze the urethra , causing urinary problems such as: An enlarged prostate can be inconvenient, but it is usually not a serious problem. In a small number of cases, urination may become extremely difficult, or backed-up urine may cause bladder infections or kidney damage.

Extractions: In this Special Report, we interview Hopkins BPH expert, Dr. H. Logan Holtgrewe, who explains the differences between the terms BPH and LUTS, or lower urinary tract symptoms. This distinction is not merely semantic, but influences the selection of appropriate treatment. Next, Dr. Holtgrewe explores in detail the various treatments for BPH, with attention to the current trend toward choosing non-surgical approaches first. Following each of these three sections is a series of questions from Prostate Bulletin subscribers, answered by the Bulletin's medical editor, H. Ballentine Carter, M.D. With this Special Report, prepared by renowned experts expressly for medical consumers like you, you get the most current, state-of-the-art thinking on the topic of BPH, with guidance and practical strategies you can follow for optimum long-term relief.

Extractions: Hyperplasia is a general medical term referring to excess cell replication. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is noncancerous growth of the prostate gland [ see Box ]. It is the most common noncancerous form of cell growth in men and usually begins with microscopic nodules in younger men. It should be noted that BPH is not a precancerous condition. Prostate cancer usually occurs in the outer area of the prostate, called the peripheral zone. As BPH progresses, overgrowth occurs in the central area of the prostate called the transition zone, which wraps around the urethra (the tube that carries urine through the penis). This pressure on the urethra can cause lower urinary symptoms that have been the basis for diagnosing BPH. [ See What Are Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms? to the left. ] In 2000, an expert committee suggested that the impact of such symptoms on quality of life, including sexual activity, is also important in assessment of the disease.

Extractions: (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy) Benign adenomatous hyperplasia of the periurethral prostate gland, causing variable degrees of bladder outlet obstruction. Etiology and Pathophysiology The etiology is unknown but may involve hormonal changes associated with aging. Multiple fibroadenomatous nodules occur in the periurethral region of the prostate gland, probably originating within the periurethral glands rather than in the true fibromuscular prostate (surgical capsule), which is displaced peripherally by progressive growth of the nodules. The hyperplasia may involve the lateral walls of the prostate (lateral lobe hyperplasia) or tissue at the inferior margin of the vesical neck (middle lobe hyperplasia). Histologically, the tissue is glandular, with varying proportions of fibrous stroma interposed. As the lumen of the prostatic urethra becomes compromised, urine outflow is progressively obstructed, accompanied by hypertrophy of the bladder detrusor, trabeculation, cellule formation, and diverticula. Incomplete bladder emptying causes stasis and predisposes to infection with secondary inflammatory changes in the bladder (chronic prostatitis, see below) and the upper urinary tract. Urinary stasis predisposes to calculus formation (see

Extractions: A new treatment that uses microwave technology to reduce enlarged prostates without surgery or an overnight hospital stay, is now available to men in the Washington, D.C., area at The George Washington University Hospital. More than 6 million men over age 55 nationwide have an enlarged prostate, which can cause problems with urination. Although prostate enlargement, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is non-cancerous, symptoms related to it can disrupt a man's quality of life. Symptoms of BPH include inability to completely empty the bladder, frequent or painful urination, weak or interrupted urine stream, incontinence, and the need to get up during the night to urinate. Despite the fact that awareness of the condition is low, an enlarged prostate is the most common health problem for men.

ABSTRACT A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 26 November 1997. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate, can lead to obstructive and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The pharmacologic use of plants and herbs (phytotherapy) for the treatment of LUTS associated with BPH has been growing steadily. The extract of the African prune tree, Pygeum africanum, is one of the several phytotherapeutic agents available for the treatment of BPH. Objectives: To investigate the evidence whether extracts of Pygeum africanum (1) are more effective than placebo in the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), (2) are as effective as standard pharmacologic BPH treatments, and (3) have less side effects compared to standard BPH drugs. Search strategy: Trials were searched in computerized general and specialized databases (MEDLINE (1966-2000), EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Phytodok), by checking bibliographies, and by contacting relevant manufacturers and researchers.

http://www.umm.edu/urology-info/bph.htm

Extractions: BPH (also referred to as benign prostatic hypertrophy) is a condition in which the prostate gland becomes very enlarged and may cause problems associated with urination. BPH can raise PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels two to three times higher than the normal level. An increased PSA level does not indicate cancer, but the higher the PSA level, the higher the chance of having cancer. Some of the signs of BPH and prostate cancer are the same, however, having BPH does not seem to increase the chances of developing prostate cancer. A man who has BPH may also have undetected prostate cancer at the same time or may develop prostate cancer in the future. Therefore, the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society recommend that all men over 50 consult their physicians about having a digital rectal and PSA examination once a year to screen for prostate cancer. How does BPH occur?
