Abstract
CONCLUSIONS. Different responses of the prostatic inflammation and voiding function to the change in T-to-E-2 ratio imply that non-bacterial prostatic inflammation is not a sufficient condition for the development of obstructive voiding. The present study finds no support for the idea that age- and/or obesity-related hypoandrogenic state with a decreased ratio of T-to-E-2 would cause urethral obstruction.
