Physiology of BPH<br />

! Characterized by hyperplasia of prostatic stromal<br />

and epithelial cells, which results in the formation<br />

of large, fairly discrete nodules in the periurethral<br />

region of the prostate<br />

! When sufficiently large,<br />

the nodules compress<br />

and narrow the urethral<br />

canal to cause partial, or<br />

sometimes virtually<br />

complete obstruction<br />
