HIPERPLASIA PROSTÁTICA BENIGNA EM CÃES
Keywords:
Dog, accessory sexual gland, prostatic diseaseAbstract
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a pathology originated from the prostate, the only accessory sexual gland in dogs, and its development occurs in older, uncastrated animals of unknown etiology. This literature review aims to discuss the clinical signs, forms of diagnosis and treatment this disease. Serum dihydrotestosterone is the main hormone that stimulates the growth of the canine prostate. The main clinical signs of this pathology involve weight loss, dyschezia, tenesmus, urinary incontinence, urethral secretion and hematuria. The diagnosis of canine prostate pathologies requires a thorough knowledge of anatomy and clinical signs, rectal palpation, ultrasonography and radiography, hematological analysis, biochemical profile, cytology of prostatic fluid, histopathological examination of prostate and the use of biomarkers, all help in the diagnosis of BPH. The most effective treatment is orchiectomy, but finasteride, delmadione acetate, osasterone or the application of Botulinum Toxin-A (TB-A) may also be used as treatment.
