Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) andchronic prostatitis(CP). Methods Three hundred BPH patients were studied, aged from 51 to 96 (aver-age 72). All patients were divided into 3 groups (Ⅰ°、Ⅱ°and Ⅲ°)according to result of digital rectal examina-tion, which include 85 cases , 139 cases and 76 cases respectively. The incidence of CP among 3 groups were compared and analyzed. Results Two hundreds and thirty-five of the 300 cases with BPH were accompa-nied with CP(77.7%). Among the 233 cases, 53 cases were in Ⅰ degree BPH group (53 / 85, 62.4% ), 113 cases were in Ⅱ degree BPH group (113/139, 81.3%), 67 cases were in Ⅲ degree BPH group (67/76, 88.2%). Conclusions Many BPH patients were accompanied by CP. The prostate size and the inflamma-tion of prostate were positive correlated. The effect of anti-inflammatory treatment in Ⅰ degree and Ⅱ degreeBPH patients was better than Ⅲ degree BPH patients.
