More than 40% of men, aged 50 years and more, develop a benign prostatic hyperplasia. There is some evidence that a disturbance of the testosterone and estrogene metabolism within the prostate is involved in the pathogenesis. In relation to the symptoms, either a conservative therapy or a surgical treatment and resection of the prostate is performed. Retrograde ejaculation is a frequent consequence of surgical treatment.
A 35-year-old woman underwent heart transplantation in 1986 because of dilated cardiomyopathy that developed after mitral valve replacements in 1971, 1975, and 1982. Additionally, a carcinoma of the left breast was diagnosed in 1984, leading to mastectomy, and in 1985 a local recurrent tumor had to be resected. In 1988 her gallbladder was removed after repeated episodes of biliary colic. Despite her eventful history, the patient is in good physical condition with normal heart performance and no signs of progression of the breast cancer under triple-drug immunosuppression.
