前列腺炎是一种组织学诊断，多年来一直被认为是与前列腺炎症有关的一种临床综合征。同样，良性前列腺增生（BPH），另一种组织学诊断，已经演变为描述一种被认为与前列腺增大相关的临床综合征。最近对这些前列腺相关的组织学和临床状况之间的相互关系的探索产生了很大的兴趣和兴奋。本文描述了这些关系及其对管理的影响，特别是对BPH的影响。
Prostatitis, a histologic diagnosis, has evolved over the years to describe a clinical syndrome that was believed to be associated with prostatic inflammation. Similarly, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), another histologic diagnosis, has evolved to describe a clinical syndrome believed to be associated with prostatic enlargement. Recent explorations of the interrelationships between these prostate-associated histologic and clinical conditions have generated much interest and excitement. This article describes these relationships and their impact on the management of, in particular, BPH.
