Clinical characteristics of BPH were investigated in the relationship among prostate volume estimated by transrectal sonography, symptoms by questionnaire, residual urine volume, and voiding force evaluated by uroflowmetry. There was no apparent relationship among them, which might be caused by the poor reproducibility of residual urine volume, the difficult enumeration of the symptoms, contamination of other diseases of which voiding disorder is correlated with aging and other unknown factors. Under such a situation, this disease should be treated as a BPH syndrome. Moreover we propose that BPH syndrome should be classified into three types; type 1: symptomatic BPH without enlarged prostate, type 2: asymptomatic BPH with enlarged prostate and type 3: symptomatic BPH with enlarged prostate.
通过经直肠超声检查估算前列腺体积、通过问卷调查评估症状、测量残余尿量以及通过尿流率测定评估排尿力，研究了良性前列腺增生（BPH）的临床特征。它们之间没有明显的关系，这可能是由于残余尿量的可重复性差、症状难以计数、与衰老相关的排尿障碍的其他疾病的混杂以及其他未知因素所致。在这种情况下，该病应被视为一种BPH综合征。此外，我们建议将BPH综合征分为三种类型；1型：前列腺未增大的有症状BPH，2型：前列腺增大的无症状BPH，3型：前列腺增大的有症状BPH。
