[Benign prostatic hyperplasia].
More than 40% of men, aged 50 years and more, develop a benign prostatic hyperplasia. There is some evidence that a disturbance of the testosterone and estrogene metabolism within the prostate is involved in the pathogenesis. In relation to the symptoms, either a conservative therapy or a surgical treatment and resection of the prostate is performed. Retrograde ejaculation is a frequent consequence of surgical treatment.
