Prostatic adenoma or prostatic hyperplasia (benign) is a disease that does not cause dangerous health consequences, but can seriously affect your sex life.Unlike cancer, adenoma is a benign formation, so the risk of developing the disease remains low.Externally, it appears as a nodule or cluster of nodules on the prostate that gradually increases in size.The process can take weeks, months or even years, and the disease itself is one of the most common in men over fifty.
Despite long-term research into the disease and the discovery of effective treatments for prostate adenomas, the cause of the disease remains unexplored.Currently, the main cause is thought to be a man's age - once you hit your fifties, the endocrine system begins to change, and age-related systemic changes are irreversible.People over 50 are at risk.Young people and adults under the age of 40-45 are virtually immune to this disease.The disease is extremely rare in young people.
The effects of bad habits are also unrelated to the occurrence of disease.Smokers and nonsmokers alike suffer from adenoma manifestations.Abstinence or active sex life, sexual orientation (heterosexual or homosexual) also did not affect the appearance of adenomas.Therefore, the disease is now entirely an age-related problem.
Treatment of male prostate adenomas
When talking about the treatment of prostate adenoma in men, it is important to emphasize the symptoms of the disease.Benign tumors of the glands around the urethra are not a reason to put off seeing a doctor.It is necessary to promptly consult a specialist, since even benign tumors will have negative consequences sooner or later.The inflammatory response and tissue swelling do not appear immediately.Over time, many doctors pointed to swelling as the final stage of the disease.The first stage of the disease is frequent urination.One sign is going to the bathroom up to 3-4 times during the night.Sometimes there are false impulses.These are the first signs of overt illness.The inflammatory process is characterized by a pronounced desire to go to the toilet.Ninety percent of cases of prostate adenoma are accompanied by inflammation alone.
Many people confuse prostate adenoma and prostatitis - these diseases often appear in pairs, but are treated separately.In rare cases, a combined solution to both problems is acceptable.Going to a professional clinic to see a doctor will help you find the right way to treat your disease.If adenomatous prostatitis is not cured during treatment, it may become chronic, be more difficult to treat, and take longer.
Prostate adenomas can also appear with age due to the smoothness of the bladder muscles.This is a major cause of inconsistent and sometimes untimely urges to use the toilet.This problem is also a cause of adenomas.This symptom often becomes the predominant symptom when contacting a specialist.If left untreated, inability to urinate may lead to urinary incontinence, so it is important to contact a professional promptly to find effective treatment.
Treatment of prostate adenoma
The medical center offers a variety of medications to treat prostate adenoma.Treatment procedures are performed only after all tests have been completed.If a decade ago this disease could only be cured through surgery, now there are several different medications that can help eliminate the discomfort, causes, and consequences of this disease.
The advantages of pharmacological treatments are obvious: they are gentle on the body and cause minimal damage to the reproductive system.However, there are disadvantages: side effects, duration of treatment.Compared with surgery, complications are much less, so taking a course of medications prescribed by your doctor after taking the main medications is enough to complete the treatment process.
The duration of treatment can last up to several months - the inflammatory process in the male reproductive system cannot be treated aggressively, nor too quickly, as this can lead to other problems or even infertility.An examination with a urologist is the first step in correct treatment.The clinic provides examinations by specialists in the treatment of genitourinary diseases.Treatment of prostate adenoma depends on the results of the test.
These analyzes are performed using our own technology developed by our best experts.There are four parameters according to which the main processing takes place.
- The amount of urine in the urethra, urethra, and bladder.The evaluation is based on a number of indicators.The amount of fluid in each element, the daily fluid norm, bladder cleanliness and some other specific parameters are also evaluated and conclusions are drawn about bladder cleanliness - the norm is up to 10% of the rest, while this amount may increase with age.If there is enough volume in the bladder after an ultrasound or after a catheter is inserted into the bladder (to measure urine output), the man is at least at risk.
- Studies of urine flow rates - deviations of 15 ml/sec or more from normal allow us to accurately determine the effects on any organ, most commonly the prostate.
- The normal size of the prostate should be 23x43x41 mm, so if the size is significantly larger than normal, appropriate treatment is required.
- A special scale is used to assess the patient's health status.
Treatment of prostate adenoma without surgery
There are several ways to treat prostate adenomas without surgery.In a professional clinic, you can remove significantly enlarged glands in 1-2 days without surgery or incisions.
The first method is called minimally invasive treatment of prostate adenomas.The instrument is inserted through the urethra.Today's technology makes it possible to use heat or cold to remove various areas of the gland.The growths can be removed within minutes under local anesthesia.This is the most painless and safest method without any complications afterwards.This treatment also has no side effects.Mild pain after surgery should go away within a few days.There is also no need to take additional medications.The only drawback to this treatment is lack of knowledge.At the moment, it is also impossible to say about the duration of effective treatment - this varies from person to person.
The wait-and-see approach is the longest but is especially effective for those who follow their doctor's instructions carefully.If the patient follows the prescribed diet, maintains a healthy lifestyle and visits the doctor regularly, then his recovery is only a matter of time.In addition, regular observation allows us to identify the characteristics of changes in the patient's condition and, if the condition worsens, always to develop a more effective treatment plan.This method is good because it allows you to control the condition of the organs affected by inflammation, but at the same time it does not guarantee results.Therefore, it is necessary to consult experts to get the desired results.
Treatment of large prostate adenomas can now also be performed without surgery unless the size exceeds 100 cubic centimeters.Although pelvic surgery procedures may seem outdated, there are benefits to surgery.The hospital stay during surgery is no more than two days; rare complications may extend the stay to 4-5 days.Only local anesthesia is used, so you are mobile the next day.It is recommended to limit physical activity for one month after surgery.The disease is unlikely to come back.
Therefore, given the variety of treatments and medicines to eliminate inflammation, you just need to consult a doctor and get a diagnosis at the clinic.Prostate adenoma treatment by a professional is beneficial!
