Anatomical Factors in Prostatitis

Abstract

Summary The intrinsic anatomy of the prostate and the sphincter mechanism of the urethra allows more objective consideration of the aetiology of prostatitis and its pathology. The pathological anatomy provides a further reason for the anomalies in the characteristics of the EPS and the difficulty of cure in some cases. It furthermore provides support for a transurethral approach to surgical cure in the cases which advance to this stage.
