In pseudohermaphrodites, the structure of the prostate is dependent on the sex of the gonad. If there are ovaries present, the prostate is represented only by the middle and lateral lobes ; when both testes are present, the entire male prostate, including the posterior lobe, surrounds the urethra 35 . These observations indicated that the middle and lateral lobes of the prostate constitute an ambisexual organ, while the posterior lobe is a distinctly male structure. Comparison of the distribution of benign hypertrophy in the prostate further indicates that this disease involves the ambisexual part of the prostate; in other words, that part which is sensitive to both androgens and estrogens.
