The proliferation of prostatic epithelium in chronic prostatitis

Urological Research, 1975
The labelling index in chronic nonspecific prostatitis ranges from 0.7-2.1%. This value is markedly higher than in nodular hyperplasia (0.4%) as well as in differentiated adenocarcinomas (0.6%). Increased labelling index could only be determined in glands adjacent to inflammatory foci.

The role of the prostatic stroma in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome

Inflammation Research, 2009

Phytotherapy in chronic prostatitis

Urology, 2002
Chronic prostatitis is a very common condition that is poorly understood and has a significant impact on quality of life. Given the lack of proven efficacy of conventional therapies, such as antibiotics, it is not surprising that patients have turned with increasing frequency to phytotherapy and other alternative treatments.
