The
prostate gland is located in the pelvic area and surrounds the urethra. The prostate
is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The gland
is made up of two lobes, or regions, enclosed by an outer layer of tissue. The
prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, where urine
is stored. The prostate the urethra, the canal through which urine passes out
of the body. The prostate gland's main purpose is to squeeze fluid into
the urethra as sperm moves through during sexual climax. This fluid, which helps
make up semen, energizes the sperm and makes the vaginal canal less acidic.
Prostate
enlargement is often marked by frequent trips to the bathroom. Other common symptoms
include trouble starting a stream of urine, leaking, or dribbling. Prostate enlargement,
also known as, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is commonplace for men over
the age of 50. By age 60, more than half the men have BPH, and by age 85 that
number climbs to over 90%.
The
determining factor in the decision to treat BPH, is whether the symptoms are affecting
your quality of life and whether a blockage is causing serious complications,
such as inability to urinate, blood in the urine, bladder stones, kidney failure,
or other bladder problems.
A
few questions to ask yourself are:
How
severe are your symptoms?
Do
symptoms prevent you from doing things you enjoy?
Do
they seriously affect your quality of life?
Are
they getting worse?
Are
you ready to accept some small risks to get rid of your symptoms?
Do
you know the risks associated with each treatment? Is it time to do something?
There
are many different treatment options available such as:
Medications
Interstitial
Laser Therapy
TUMT
(transurethral microwave thermotherapy)
TUNA
(transurethral radio frequency needle ablation)
