    Notes: Abstract To investigate the histological features of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with and without bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), 32 patients with symptomatic BPH, 22 with BOO and ten without BOO, were studied. The area density of smooth muscle, fibrous tissue, glandular epithelium, and glandular lumen in BPH adenoma resected by transurethral surgery was estimated using morphometric analysis. No differences were found in the area density of stromal and glandular components between the two groups. In the glandular component, neither the epithelium nor lumen differed between the two groups. However, the area density of smooth muscle in the obstructed group showed a decrease compared to that in the unobstructed group (P 〈 0.01). We conclude that a decreased proportion of smooth muscle in BPH adenoma may play an important role in BOO.

    Notes: Abstract Hormonal replacement therapy was carried out on 24 postmenopausal women who had chronic irritative lower urinary tract symptoms without definable causes. They all underwent bacteriological, endoscopic and urodynamic evaluations, and were diagnosed as having no abnormalities. Depot estradiol (4 mg i.m.) was administered for 2 months at 2-weekly intervals. Two patients discontinued the study because of genital bleeding. After the treatment subjective symptoms, including urinary frequency, urgency, urge incontinence, sense of incomplete emptying and lower abdominal discomfort, were relieved in more than 80% of the patients. Diurnal frequency and nocturia had significantly decreased. Urodynamic assessment revealed that volume at first sensation and maximum cystometric capacity were increased by estrogen therapy. It appeared that estrogen therapy improved the hypersensitivity of the lower urinary tract and relieved chronic voiding symptoms in postmenopausal women.
