Abstract
CONCLUSIONS. Elevated estrogen concentration was essential for the gradual development of prostatic inflammation. The profile and location of inflammatory cells suggest that prostatic vasculature is one of the sites of estrogen action. Urodynamic changes which developed in association with glandular inflammation indicated abnormal bladder function, reflecting an incipient obstruction.
