良性前列腺增生与前列腺炎的关系值得深入研究

良性前列腺增生 (BPH)和前列腺炎是两种常见疾病。近年来 ,它们之间的相互关系受到学者们的关注。有人提出炎症是BPH的病因之一 ,但目前对此认识尚很肤浅。作者结合自己的实践经验 ,在BPH发病学理论中 ,伴发前列腺炎的BPH病理表现及炎症促进BPH的分子生物学水平假说作了介绍。目的是引起同道们对此问题的重视 ,并能进行更深入的研究

Further Studies on the Relationship between Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostatitis

Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) and prostatitis are two common diseases in aging men. In recent years, the study of correlation between these two diseases has been paid more and more attention to. Some researchers presumed that inflammation is one of the most important causations of BPH, however, it is not profound enough on this etiologic hypothesis at present. The writer, on the base of his clinical experiences, dissertated the etiology of BPH, the pathologic figures of coexistence of BPH and prostatitis, and the presumption of inflammation promoting BPH on the molecular biology level. We hope our colleagues pay attention to this problem, and do more study on it.
