What is the cause of ectopic prostate? What are the precautions before the treatment of ectopic prostate

After the appearance of ectopic prostate, the patient's health was seriously affected. Therefore, for patients with ectopic prostate, we must understand the symptoms of ectopic prostate in time to better prevent the occurrence of ectopic prostate. What is the cause of ectopic prostate? Introduction to the next editor.

(1) Pathogenesis

At the 12th week of the embryo, the prostate sac is formed, and the cell outgrowth of the endoderm of the urethra and prostate forms the prostate primordia. These primordia are divided into five groups, forming the prothalli of the prostate. These prothalli do not merge until adulthood, and their boundaries disappear. In addition to the above prostate primordia, some residual tissues after the degeneration of the mesonephric tube and the mesonephric tube form the same but smaller urethral epithelial collateral branches in the bladder neck and other parts, These smaller collateral branches usually have no physiological function and do not develop into the prostate, but under certain specific environmental conditions, they may enter the developmental state and cause ectopic prostate.

(2) Pathogenesis

The factors of ectopic development of the prostate are not clear. The developmental defects caused by the role of environmental factors in the embryonic stage, the stimulation of sexual hormones before puberty, and so on, may play a role in the mechanism of ectopic development of the prostate, Gutierrez and Nesbit believe that there are three possibilities of occurrence: ① normal prostate buds that should disappear grow again when they are sexually mature; ② ectopic prostate epithelium; ③ metaplasia or prostate epithelium

Precautions before treatment of ectopic prostate?

(1) Treatment

Asymptomatic ectopic prostate can be observed conservatively without surgery. The prostate in the urethra is heterotopic, mostly in the form of polyps, which can be cured by electric cauterization alone. There is no recurrence or malignant change after operation. Ectopic prostate in the bladder can also be resected or cauterized, and large prostate in the bladder can be removed by open surgery.

（2） Prognosis

Postoperative follow-up was emphasized. Ren Laicheng reported a case of ectopic prostate in the bladder. On cystoscopic examination one year after open prostatectomy, it recurred at the original site, and again with prostatectomy, without recurrence after surgery. In order to avoid total cystectomy due to misdiagnosis of bladder cancer, preoperative biopsy and understanding of the disease were emphasized.

There are many reasons for prostate heterotopia. If you find yourself suffering from prostate heterotopia, you should treat it in time. The cause and mechanism of prostate heterotopia are clear, and modern medical technology is also relatively comprehensive in treating prostate heterotopia. When faced with such andrology diseases, I hope that the majority of men will face it bravely.
