Abstract
Prostata je jedina akcesorna spolna žlijezda u pasa, a njena je funkcija tvorba prve i treće frakcije ejakulata i transport sperme. Bolesti prostate česta su oboljenja koja se uglavnom javljaju u starije populacije pasa. To su benigna hiperplazija, prostatičke i paraprostatičke ciste, prostatitis, apscesi prostate i neoplazije. Klinički znakovi koji se manifestiraju prilikom oboljenja prostate mogu biti vezani uz poremećaje mikturicije (strangurija, polakiurija, krv u urinu ili ejakulatu, recidivirajuće infekcije mokraćnog sustava), probavne smetnje (tenezam), promjene općeg stanja, lokomotorne i neurološke poremetnje. Oni ovise o tipu bolesti i njenom napretku. Prognoza i uspješnost terapije ovise o pravovremenoj dijagnozi koja se postavlja na temelju kliničkog nalaza, rektalne pretrage, radiološke i ultrazvučne pretrage, pregleda urina i ejakulata te po potrebi biopsije.The prostate is the only accessory sex gland in dogs and its function is to form the first and third fraction of the ejaculate as well as transporting sperm. Prostatic disease commonly occurs in older dogs. Those are benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic and paraprostatic cysts, prostatitis, prostatic abscess, and neoplasia. Clinical signs that manifest during the occurrence of a disease can be related with micturition disorders (stranguria, polakiuria, blood in the urine or ejaculate, recurrent infections of urinary tract), digestive disorders (tenesmus), changes in general state, locomotor and neurological disorders. They depend on the type of the disease and its progress. Prognosis and success of the therapy depend on the prompt diagnosis based on clinical findings, rectal examinations, radiological and ultrasound tests, examinations of urine and ejaculate together with biopsy if needed
