The prostate (from Greek προστάτης - , literally "one who stands before", "protector", "guardian"[4] ) is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the in most mammals unless they have it removed at birth.[5] [6] In 2002, female paraurethral glands, or Skene's glands, were officially renamed the female prostate by the Federative International Committee on .[7] The prostate differs considerably among species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically. Prostate 2

Function The function of the prostate is to store and secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance,[8] that usually constitutes 20-30% of the volume of the along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The alkalinization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles.[9] The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa. In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material (DNA). The prostate also contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation.

Secretions Prostatic secretions vary among species. They are generally composed of simple sugars and are often slightly alkaline. In human prostatic secretions, the protein content is less than 1% and includes proteolytic enzymes, prostatic acid phosphatase, and prostate-specific antigen. The secretions also contain zinc with a concentration 500-1,000 times the concentration in blood.

Regulation To work properly, the prostate needs male hormones (androgens), which are responsible for male sex characteristics. The main male hormone is testosterone, which is produced mainly by the . Some male hormones are produced in small amounts by the adrenal glands. However, it is dihydrotestosterone that regulates the prostate.

Development The prostatic part of the urethra develops from the pelvic (middle) part of the urogenital sinus (endodermal origin). Endodermal outgrowths arise from the prostatic part of the urethra and grow into the surrounding mesenchyme. The glandular epithelium of the prostate differentiates from these endodermal cells, and the associated mesenchyme differentiates into the dense stroma and the smooth muscle of the prostate.[10] The prostate glands represent the modified wall of the proximal portion of the male urethra and arises by the 9th week of embryonic life in the development of the reproductive system. Condensation of mesenchyme, urethra and Wolffian ducts gives rise to the adult prostate gland, a composite organ made up of several glandular and non-glandular components tightly fused within a common capsule.

Female prostate gland The Skene's gland, also known as the paraurethral gland, found in females, is homologous to the prostate gland in males. However, evolutionarily, the uterus is in the same position as the prostate gland. In 2002 the Skene's gland was officially renamed the prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.[11] The female prostate, like the male prostate, secretes PSA and levels of this antigen rise in the presence of carcinoma of the gland. The gland also expels fluid, like the male prostate, during .[12] Prostate 3

Structure

A healthy human prostate is classically said to be slightly larger than a walnut. In actuality, it is approximately the size of a kiwifruit. The mean weight of the "normal" prostate in adult males is about 11 grams, usually ranging between 7 and 16 grams.[13] It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder and can be felt during a rectal exam. It is the only exocrine organ located in the midline in humans and similar animals.

The ducts are lined with transitional epithelium. Micrograph of benign prostatic glands with Within the prostate, the urethra coming from the bladder is called the corpora amylacea. H&E stain. prostatic urethra and merges with the two ejaculatory ducts. The prostate is sheathed in the muscles of the pelvic floor, which contract during the ejaculatory process. The prostate can be divided in two ways: by zone, or by lobe.[14]

Zones

The "zone" classification is more often used in pathology. The idea of "zones" was first proposed by McNeal in 1968. McNeal found that the relatively homogeneous cut surface of an adult prostate in no way resembled "lobes" and thus led to the description of "zones."[15] The prostate gland has four distinct glandular regions, two of which arise from different segments of the prostatic urethra:

Urinary bladder (black butterfly-like shape) and hyperplastic prostate (BPH) visualized by Medical ultrasonography technique

Name Fraction of gland Description

Peripheral zone (PZ) Up to 70% in young The sub-capsular portion of the posterior aspect of the prostate gland that surrounds the distal [16] [17] men urethra. It is from this portion of the gland that ~70-80% of prostatic cancers originate.

Central zone (CZ) Approximately 25% This zone surrounds the ejaculatory ducts. The central zone accounts for roughly 2.5% of prostate normally cancers although these cancers tend to be more aggressive and more likely to invade the seminal [18] vesicles.

Transition zone (TZ) 5% at puberty ~10-20% of prostate cancers originate in this zone. The transition zone surrounds the proximal urethra and is the region of the prostate gland that grows throughout life and is responsible for the [16] [17] disease of benign prostatic enlargement. (2)

Anterior fibro-muscular Approximately 5% This zone is usually devoid of glandular components, and composed only, as its name suggests, of zone (or stroma) muscle and fibrous . Prostate 4

Lobes

The "lobe" classification is more often used in anatomy.

This specimen was almost 7 centimeters long with a volume of about 60 cubic centimetres on transrectal ultrasound and was removed during a Hryntschak procedure or transvesical (removal of the prostate through the bladder) for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Anterior lobe (or isthmus) roughly corresponds to part of transitional zone

Posterior lobe roughly corresponds to peripheral zone

Lateral lobes spans all zones

Median lobe (or middle lobe) roughly corresponds to part of central zone Prostate 5

Prostate disorders

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland. There are primarily four different forms of prostatitis, each with different causes and outcomes. Two relatively uncommon forms, and chronic bacterial prostatitis, are treated with antibiotics (category I and II, respectively). Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis or male chronic pelvic pain syndrome (category III), which comprises about 95% of prostatitis diagnoses, is treated by a large variety of modalities including alpha blockers, phytotherapy, physical therapy, psychotherapy, antihistamines, anxiolytics, nerve modulators, Micrograph showing an inflamed prostate gland, [19] [20] surgery, and more. More recently, a combination of trigger point the histologic correlate of prostatitis. A normal and psychological therapy has proved effective for category III non-inflamed prostatic gland is seen on the left of prostatitis as well.[21] Category IV prostatitis, relatively uncommon in the image. H&E stain. the general population, is a type of leukocytosis.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occurs in older men;[22] the prostate often enlarges to the point where urination becomes difficult. Symptoms include needing to urinate often (frequency) or taking a while to get started (hesitancy). If the prostate grows too large, it may constrict the urethra and impede the flow of urine, making urination difficult and painful and, in extreme cases, completely impossible. BPH can be treated with medication, a minimally invasive procedure or, in extreme cases, surgery that removes the prostate. Minimally invasive procedures include Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA) and Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT).[23] These outpatient procedures may be followed by the insertion of a temporary Prostatic stent, to allow normal voluntary urination, without exacerbating irritative symptoms.[24] The surgery most often used in such cases is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP or TUR). In TURP, an instrument is inserted through the urethra to remove prostate tissue that is pressing against the upper part of the urethra and restricting the flow of urine. TURP results in the removal of mostly transitional zone tissue in a patient with BPH. Older men often have corpora amylacea[25] (amyloid), dense accumulations of calcified proteinaceous material, in the ducts of their prostates. The corpora amylacea may obstruct the lumens of the prostatic ducts, and may underlie some cases of BPH. Urinary frequency due to bladder spasm, common in older men, may be confused with prostatic hyperplasia. Statistical observations suggest that a diet low in fat and red meat and high in protein and vegetables, as well as regular alcohol consumption, could protect against BPH.[26] Prostate 6

Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting older men in developed countries and a significant cause of death for elderly men (estimated by some specialists at 3%). Regular rectal exams, as well as measurement of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) are recommended for men, usually ages 40 and up to detect prostate cancer early. In a paper published in the 1 March 2011 issue of the journal Clinical Cancer Research[27] , researchers from the University of Surrey reported that prostate cancers secrete the protein Engrailed-2 (EN2). Micrograph showing normal prostatic glands and EN2 can be found in a urine test. A EN2 stick test (like a pregnancy glands of prostate cancer (prostate test) was expected to give results within five minutes. The test is more adenocarcinoma) - right upper aspect of image. accurate, less invasive, and gives far fewer false positives than PSA HPS stain. . test.[28]

Male sexual response

During male orgasm, sperm is transmitted from the ductus deferens into the male urethra via the ejaculatory ducts, which lie within the prostate gland. It is possible for men to achieve orgasm solely through stimulation of the prostate gland, such as prostate or receptive anal intercourse.[29]

Vasectomy and risk of prostate cancer In 1993, the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed a connection between and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Reported studies of 48,000 and 29,000 men who had showed 66 percent and 56 percent higher rates of prostate cancer, respectively. The risk increased with age and the number of years since the vasectomy was performed. However, in March of the same year, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development held a conference cosponsored by the National Cancer Institute and others to review the available data and information on the link between prostate cancer and vasectomies. It was determined that an association between the two was very weak at best, and even if having a vasectomy increased one's risk, the risk was relatively small. In 1997, the NCI held a conference with the prostate cancer Progressive Review Group (a committee of scientists, medical personnel, and others). Their final report, published in 1998 stated that evidence that vasectomies help to develop prostate cancer was weak at best.[30] Prostate 7

Stenting the prostate Recent scientific breakthroughs have now meant using a Prostatic stent is a viable method of dis-obstructing the prostate. Stents are devices inserted into the urethra to widen it and keep it open. Stents can be temporary or permanent, and insertion is mostly done on an outpatient basis under local or spinal anesthesia and usually takes about 30 minutes.
