“…Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common and prevalent age-related diseases in men and sexually intact male dogs (VERHAMME et al, 2002). There are typically no clinical signs of canine BPH displayed until the condition has progressed to the point that the enlarged prostate causes tenesmus and/or serosanguineous urethral discharge.…”

This study aimed to determine the effects of different concentrations of botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) on semen parameters, and seminal plasma biochemical and protein profi les of dogs with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a ação de diferentes concentrações de toxina botulínica tipo A (TB-A) sobre os parâmetros seminais, perfi s bioquímicos e proteicos do plasma seminal de cães com hiperplasia prostática benigna (HPB). Dezoito cães hígidos, não orquiectomizados com HPB foram divididos em três grupos, os quais foram submetidos à injeção intra-prostática de solução salina (grupo controle -GC), 250UI (GI) ou 500UI (GII) de TB-A. Amostras seminais foram coletadas previamente aos tratamentos e após 2, 4 e 8 semanas. Os parâmetros seminais assim como os valores de pH e concentrações de proteínas totais (TP), cloretos totais (CT), cálcio (Ca), potássio (K), sódio (Na

“…1 It has been classically stated that from 25 to 50% of individuals with microscopic and macroscopic evidence of BPH will progress to clinical BPH. 19 In the present series, major complaints of BPH were increased frequency of micturition, urgency, nocturia, urge incontinence, enuresis, burning micturition, pyuria, haematuria, hesitancy, poor stream, dribbling, sense of incomplete emptying, intermittency, chronic and acute retention of urine. Among these, nocturia, straining, increased frequency, and micturition was present in 100% of cases.…”

“…5,6,7 The AUASS is recommended as the symptoms scoring instrument used in the initial assessment of each patient presenting with symptoms of prostatism. When the AUASS System is used, symptoms classified as mild (0 to 7), moderate (8 to 19), and severe (20 to 35). The symptoms score used as the primary determinant of plan the treatment, treatment response, or disease progression in the followup period.…”

AIMS AND OBJECTIVESTo study the incidence of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in reference to age of the patients, to study the common symptoms and signs of BPH and classify on the basis of American Urological Association Symptoms Score (AUASS), to evaluate the role of various investigations, to study the relation of weight/volume and size of prostate, and to grade the prostate on the basis of AUASS. MATERIAL AND METHODSTotal 138 patients with symptoms of BPH were selected and detailed history was elicited with special reference to AUASS, according to which BPH was graded, investigated properly, and managed accordingly. RESULTSOverall incidence of BPH out of total patients admitted (8562) in surgical wards during period of one year was found 1.61%. Majority of the patients were in the age group 61-70 years and average age in present study was 67.8 years. According to AUASS, most of the patients (62.32%) had moderate grade symptoms (Score 8-19) followed by patients (37.68%) had severe symptoms (Score 20-35). On digital rectal examination, 73.18% of the patients had grade II prostate, 14.42% had grade III, and grade I in 12.31%. The blood urea and serum creatinine levels were normal in majority of the patients, 62.77% and 58.69% respectively. On USG prostate, most of the patients (65.81%) had prostatic weight in range of 41-60 grams and majority of the patients (47.22%) had PVR volume of urine ranging between 101-200 mL. Weight of prostatic specimen on prostatectomy showed that most of the patients (64.86%) had prostatic weight in range of 41-60 grams. On histopathological examination of prostatectomy samples, it was found that 91.90% of specimens showed BPH and rest 8.10% were suggestive for carcinoma prostate. CONCLUSIONBPH is a condition intimately related to ageing, which needs treatment when symptoms are bothersome and reduces the quality of life. Patients with mild-to-moderate enlargement of the prostate in 5 th and 6 th decade of life often respond to watchful waiting and medical treatment. Patients presenting with acute or chronic retention with or without haematuria finally needs surgical intervention.

“…Also, the incidence of prostatitis mostly among monks study was between 45-50 years which agrees with that of Clemens et al [5], which noted that prostatitis is common among monks below 50 years of age. Furthermore, Various morphological alterations discovered in the tissue slides includes; the presence of undefined prostatic acini (Scant cytoplasm and dilated lumens), corpora amalycea (small concretions within the glandular lumina which represent laminated concretions of prostatic secretions), numerous inflammatory cells (mostly lymphocyte and macrophages), distorted and increased fibromuscular stroma/ region (which account for about half of the volume of the prostrate) and actively dividing hyperplasia cyst (accumulation of mucus in the lumen) [8,9].…”

The present work was undertaken to study the prevalence of prostatitis and Benign prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) among male nuns aged 45-70 years presented at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku/Ozalla, Enugu between 2008-2013. A total of thirty (30) paraffin processed Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and prostatitis tissue biopsies were used. These samples were obtained by medical experts from patients who had been diagnosed of BPH and prostatitis between the years 2008-2013. Two (2) thin sections (5 µ) were obtained from each paraffin block of BPH and prostatitis and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). The results obtained showed that they were higher prevalence of BPH (62.34%) to prostatitis (37.80%) in UNTH from the year 2008-2013. It was also observed that the occurrence of these diseases is mostly dependent on the age of individual. The increased prevalence rate of 62.24% was seen mostly amongst monks which show significant result (p<0.05) between the ages 51-70 years while the incidence rate of prostatitis in UNTH under the period of study mostly among the monks studied is 37.80% seen among the monks/friar between 45-50 years. Also, the various morphological alterations seen in the examined diseased prostate tissues state included the presence of inflammatory cells, prostatic acini, corpora amalycae, prostatic region, hyperplastic cyst and fibromuscular region. In conclusion, the occurrence of BPH and prostatitis depend on the age of the individual. the gland then directly affect the urinary function. As the prostate enlarges, it squeezes and blocks the urethra, making it hard to empty the ladder completely. Because the vas deferens deposits seminar fluid into the prostatic urethra and secretions from the prostate gland itself are included in semen content. The above disease conditions may also be involved in sexual functions and performance such as painful orgasms, pain in the testicles or penis, difficulty achieving erection, and painful ejaculation [2]. Prostatitis and Benign ProstaticIt is generally believed that most prostatic problems especially Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Prostatitis are diseases that are age dependent. This work is targeted to determine where truly age is a determining factor for occurrence of BPH and prostatitis. This study was designed to: Investigate the incidence of prostatitis and BPH among male nuns aged 45-70 years old presented at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospita, Ituku/Ozalla Enugu from the year 2008-2013. Objectives are: To determine whether age has any effect on the occurrence of BPH and prostatitis, to highlight the morphological features of BPH and prostatitis in the above patients presented at UNTH.
