Prospective examination, including traditional clinical and laboratory investigations and ultrasound high-resolution (6 - 16 MHz), performed in 116 patients with BPH, 106 patients with CP and of 102 men in the control group. Age of the patients varied from 15 to 93 years of age (the average age of 54.4 ± 4.3 years). Identified by ultrasound changes of the organs of the reproductive system in 222 patients with BPH and CP were compared with data of morphological researches of the material obtained during various operations...

The DD was found in 16 (14%) patients with BPH (14%), in 6 (6%) patients with CP and in 2 (2%) patients in the control group. The average age of the patients with the DD amounted to 67.5 years (36 - 86 years). 85% of patients with the DD were older than 55 years. Among patients with BPH the DD was observed more often at major sizes BPH (over 50 cm3). In patients with CP and the DD most often met the obstructive calculous CP...
