Transcript
In benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, prostatic refers to the prostate gland, hyperplasia means an increase in the number of cells, and benign means that these cells aren’t malignant, so they don’t invade neighboring tissues.
So, benign prostatic hyperplasia is the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland.
This condition is common in men over 50, and is often considered a normal part of aging.
The prostate is a small gland, about the size and shape of a walnut, that sits under the bladder and in front of the rectum.
The urethra which is the tube through which urine leaves the bladder, goes through the prostate before reaching the penis.
And that part of the urethra is called the prostatic urethra.
The prostate is covered by a capsule of tough connective tissue and smooth muscle.
Beneath this layer, the prostate can be divided into a few zones.
The peripheral zone, which is the outermost posterior section, is the largest of the zone and contain about 70% of the prostate’s glandular tissue.
Moving inward, the next section is the central zone which contains about 25% of the glandular tissue as well as the ejaculatory ducts that join with the prostatic urethra.
Last, is the transitional zone, which contains around 5% of the glandular tissue as well as a portion of the prostatic urethra.
The transitional zone gets its name because it contains transitional cells which are also found in the bladder.
At the microscopic level, each of the tiny glands that make up the prostate is surrounded by a basement membrane made largely of collagen.
