ABSTRACT
Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and chronic prostatitis (CP) are common diseases in males, and BPH is often complicated by CP. This review focuses on the relationship of BPH with CP and their epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical features. Patients with BPH or CP are more likely to be subjected to another disease. Inflammation may be involved in the development of BPH. Compared with simple BPH, patients with CP-complicated BPH have significantly higher scores on age, prostate weight, prostate volume, and IPSS. Some related therapies are also evaluated, such as selective use of the alpha1-receptor blocker, 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, antibiotics, ultrasound microbubble contrast agents, and so on.
