Gross anatomy of a human prostate affected by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the transitional zone. Hyperplastic nodules (arrowheads) are clearly visible in the transitional zone (TZ) but not the peripheral zone (PZ) of the gross sample.

2022年8月9日 · The prostate is a gland below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB). It consists of connective tissues and glandular tissues. It adds fluid to semen, and its muscles help push semen through your urethra. Conditions that affect your prostate include cancer, prostatitis and benign prostatic ...

2024年10月20日 · Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) refers to the nonmalignant growth or hyperplasia of prostate tissue and is a common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in older men. Disease prevalence has been shown to increase with advancing age.

2023年7月17日 · Benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, and prostatitis are the three most noteworthy clinical conditions that can arise. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is primarily a urological condition that can narrow the urethra, or protrude into the bladder, causing obstruction to …

2015年12月24日 · Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a histologic diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular elements of the prostate. Cellular...

The TZ and periurethral tissue is the site of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) development (Fig. 2). Benign prostatic hyperplasia results in a slow and gradual reduction in the width of the pros-tatic urethra, causing symptoms of bladder outflow obstruction (Fig. 3).

The prostate is the shape of an inverted pyramid and lies between the urinary bladder and the pelvic floor. The base is the superior surface and lies at the bladder neck. The anterior border forms the posterior wall of the retropubic space and is attached to the pubic bones by the puboprostatic ligaments.

The human prostate is a walnut-sized organ at the base of the urinary bladder. It is the seat of three major causes of morbidity: (1) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), (2) prostate cancer, and (3) prostatitis. As such it commands more attention …

2018年12月18日 · We provide a cellular atlas of the young adult human prostate and prostatic urethra using an iterative process of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and flow cytometry on ∼98,000 cells taken from different anatomical regions.

Prostate development follows a common pattern between species and depends on the actions of androgens to induce and support ductal branching morphogenesis of buds emerging from the urogenital sinus. The human prostate has a compact zonal anatomy immediately surrounding the urethra and below the urinary bladder.
