Prostate adenoma or prostatic hyperplasia (benign) is a disease that does not have dangerous health consequences, but can seriously affect sex life.Unlike cancer, adenoma is a benign formation, so the risk of disease remains low.Externally, it is a node or group of nodules on the prostate, which gradually increases in size.The process can take weeks, months, or even years, and the disease itself is one of the most common among men over fifty.
Despite the long-term study of the disease and effective methods of treating prostate adenoma, the causes of this disease still remain unexplored.Currently, the main reason is considered to be the age of a person: as soon as the age of fifty is reached, the endocrine system begins to change, and age-related changes in the system are also irreversible.People over 50 are at risk.Young people and adults under 40-45 years old practically do not suffer from this disease.The incidence of the disease in young people is minimal.
The influence of bad habits is also not associated with the onset of the disease.Smokers suffer equally as non-smokers from manifestations of adenoma.Abstinence or active sexual life, orientation (heterosexuality or homosexuality) also do not affect the appearance of the adenoma.Thus, the disease is currently exclusively an age-related problem.
Treatment of prostate adenoma in men
When talking about the treatment of prostate adenoma in men, it is important to highlight the symptoms of the disease.A benign tumor of the glands surrounding the urethra is not a reason to delay a visit to the doctor.It is necessary to consult a specialist in a timely manner, because even a benign tumor can sooner or later have a negative effect.The inflammatory effect and tissue swelling do not appear immediately.Some time passes, and many doctors consider swelling to be the final stage of the disease.The first stage of the disease is frequent urination.One sign is that you go to the bathroom at night up to 3 to 4 times a night.Sometimes there are also false desires.These are the first signs of an obvious illness.Inflammatory processes are characterized by a clear desire to go to the toilet.90% of cases of prostate adenoma occur only with inflammation.
Many people confuse prostate adenoma and prostatitis - these diseases often occur in pairs, but treatment is carried out separately.A comprehensive solution to both problems is acceptable in rare cases.Consulting a doctor in a specialized clinic will help you find the right path to cure diseases.If during the treatment of adenoma prostatitis is not cured, it can become chronic, which is more difficult to treat and takes more time.
Prostate adenoma also appears due to age due to the softness of the bladder muscles.This is the main reason for an inconsistent and sometimes even untimely urge to go to the toilet.This problem is also the cause of an adenoma.This symptom often becomes the main one when contacting a specialist.If left untreated, poor urination can progress to incontinence.It is therefore important to quickly contact a professional who will find an effective treatment.
Treatments for prostate adenoma
The medical center offers various medications for the treatment of prostate adenoma.The processing procedure is carried out only after all tests are completed.If ten years ago it was possible to cure this disease only through surgery, now there are several different drugs that will help eliminate the discomfort, causes and consequences of the disease.
The advantages of the drug treatment method are obvious: it is a gentle effect on the body with minimal damage to the reproductive system.However, there are also disadvantages: side effects, duration of treatment.Compared to surgery, there are much fewer complications, so after taking the main medication, it will be enough to follow a course of medications prescribed by the doctor to complete the treatment procedure.
The duration of treatment can be several months - inflammatory processes in the male reproductive system cannot be treated with aggressive and too rapid methods, as this can lead to additional problems and even infertility.An examination by a specialized urologist is the first step towards correct recovery.The clinic offers an examination by a specialized specialist who treats diseases of the genitourinary system.Treatments for prostate adenoma depend on test results.
The analyzes are carried out using our own technology developed by the best specialists.There are four parameters based on which the main processing is carried out.
- The volume of urine in the canal, urethra and bladder.The assessment is carried out according to several indicators.The amount of fluid in each item, the rate of fluid per day, bladder cleansing and some other specific parameters are also assessed and a conclusion is made about the cleanliness of the bladder - the rate can reach 10% of the rest, while with age this amount may increase.If, after an ultrasound or the insertion of a catheter into the bladder (measuring the amount of urine), the bladder volume is sufficient, then the man is at least at risk.
- A study of urine output - a deviation from the norm of 15 ml/s or more allows us to accurately determine the influence of any organ and, most often, the prostate.
- The normal volume of the prostate should be 23x43x41 mm, so if the size significantly exceeds the norm, then appropriate treatment is prescribed.
- Assessment of the patient's well-being using a special scale.
Treatment of prostate adenoma without surgery
There are several methods to treat prostate adenoma without surgery.In a specialized clinic, you can get rid of a significantly enlarged gland in 1-2 days, without surgery and incisions.
The first method is called minimally invasive treatment of prostate adenoma.The instruments are inserted through the urethra.Technologies today make it possible to use heat or cold to remove individual areas of the gland.The hyperplastic tissue is removed in a few minutes under local anesthesia.This is the most painless and safe method, after which there are no complications.There were also no side effects associated with this treatment.Mild pain after surgery disappears within a few days.There is also no need to take additional medications.The only drawback of this treatment method is its lack of knowledge.At present, it is also impossible to talk about the duration of effective treatment - it is individual.
The wait-and-see method is the longest, but it is especially effective for those who strictly follow all the doctor's instructions.If the patient adheres to the diet prescribed for him, leads a healthy lifestyle and regularly consults a doctor, his recovery is only a matter of time.In addition, regular observation allows us to identify the features of changes in the patient's condition and, if the condition worsens, a more effective procedure can always be prescribed.This method is good because it allows you to control the condition of the organ affected by inflammation, but at the same time it does not give a guaranteed result.It is therefore necessary to consult a specialist to obtain the desired result.
The treatment of large prostate adenomas is now also carried out without surgical intervention, except when the volume exceeds 100 cubic centimeters.Despite the apparent obsolescence of the pelvic surgery process, the surgery has advantages.Hospitalization accompanied by the operation lasts no more than two days;rare complications may result in increased hospitalization of up to 4 to 5 days.Only local anesthesia is used, so you can move around the next day.It is recommended to limit physical activity for one month after surgery.Recurrence of the disease is impossible.
So, given the variety of treatment methods and drugs created to eliminate inflammation, you just need to consult your doctor and undergo diagnosis in the clinic.Prostate adenoma treatment is beneficial when carried out by professionals!
