Prognostic value of blood flow in prostate in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia with urine retention

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most frequent disease among middle and old aged men. The purpose of our study is to assess the efficiency of diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) without complications and with urine retention. Transrectal sonography was performed in 77 patients with BPH. The estimation of blood flow in patients of main group performed with transrectal ultrasound with Doppler. The speed of blood flow measured in subcapsular and paraurethral arteries with estimation of diameter and speed of vein drain in the paraprostatic veins. Transrectal sonography showed the changes in the prostatic blood-flow especially in case of urine retention. Transrectal ultrsonography playys an important role in the evaluation of the prostatic blood-flow.
