Aims and Objectives of Histological Studies of Prostate

Abstract

In the modern era, especially in the elderly males, the geriatric age group, people come with complaints of the prostate gland. The frequency of the prostate disorders has been on the increase and disorders such as prostatitis, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostatic Cancer have been on the rise. To study the various changes the prostate undergoes during its development as the age passes by is a topic of immense interest and I have made an attempt to study the same. Most of the complaints to a doctor are because of problems in the abdomino pelvic region. It has been found that of all the cases in out patients department 75 percent people complain of symptoms in the region of abdomen and pelvis. Especially in case of males the complaints in the pelvic region are comparable to females. As we have predominantly symptoms related to ovaries and cervix in case of females similarly we have growing concerns problems concerning prostate in males. Being a very important organ of the male genito urinary system and the rapid progress made in the field of Anatomy, Histology, Pathology Surgery, Radiology the finer details about the organs makes our study more interesting and mind absorbing.
