Prostate disease is one of the most common urological disease. A large number of studies have shown that prostate disease is related to changes in the local microenvironment. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of periodontal tissue caused by a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Its pathogenesis may involve many factors. Periodontitis may have adverse effects on cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and endocrine systems. Recent studies have found that chronic periodontitis is associated with the occurrence and development of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, but the relationship is not clear. Therefore, further research is needed. This article elaborates on inflammation and benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, periodontitis and prostatitis, and periodontitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, aiming to provide certain ideas for clinical research and diagnosis and treatment.
