Prostate adenoma or prostate 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 is still low.Externally, it is a node or cluster of nodes on the prostate, which gradually increase in size.The process can take weeks, months or even years, and the disease itself is one of the most common in men over the age of fifty.
Despite the long-term study of the disease and effective methods of treatment of prostate adenoma, the causes of this disease are still unexplored.Currently, the main reason is considered to be a man's age - as soon as he turns fifty, 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 the age of 40-45 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 related to the appearance of the disease.Smokers suffer equally from adenoma manifestations as non-smokers.Abstinence or active sexual life, orientation (heterosexuality or homosexuality) also do not affect the appearance of adenomas.Therefore, the disease is currently exclusively a problem of old age.
Treatment of prostate adenoma in men
When we talk 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 occur immediately.Some time passes, and many doctors point to the swelling as the final stage of the disease.The first stage of the disease is frequent urination.A sign is going to the toilet at night and up to 3-4 times during the night.Sometimes there are also false urges.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 together, but treatment is carried out separately.A comprehensive solution to both problems is acceptable in rare cases.A visit to a doctor in a specialized clinic will help you find the right path to cure the disease.If prostatitis remains untreated during adenoma treatment, it can become chronic, which is more difficult to treat and lasts longer.
Prostate adenoma also appears due to age due to the smoothness of the bladder muscles.This is the main reason for the inconsistent and sometimes even untimely desire to go to the toilet.This problem is also the cause of adenoma.This symptom often becomes the main one when you consult a specialist.If left untreated, poor urination can progress to incontinence, so it is important to immediately contact a specialist who will find an effective treatment.
Treatment of prostate adenoma
The medical center offers various drugs for the treatment of prostate adenoma.The treatment procedure is carried out only after all the tests have been performed.If ten years ago it was possible to cure this disease only with the help of surgery, now there are several different drugs that will help to get rid of discomfort, causes and consequences of the disease.
The advantages of the drug treatment method are obvious: it has a mild effect on the body with minimal damage to the reproductive system.However, there are also disadvantages: side effects, duration of treatment.Compared to a surgical procedure, there are much fewer complications, so after taking the main drug, it will be enough to drink the course of drugs 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 methods and too quickly, as this can lead to additional problems or even infertility.An examination by a specialist urologist is the first step towards proper healing.The clinic offers an examination by a specialist who deals with diseases of the genitourinary system.Treatment of prostate adenoma depends on the test results.
Analyzes are carried out using our own technology developed by the best experts.There are four parameters based on which the main treatment is carried out.
- The volume of urine in the duct, urethra and bladder.The assessment is made according to several indicators.The amount of liquid in each element, the daily norm of liquid, bladder cleaning and some other specific parameters are also evaluated and a conclusion is made about the cleanliness of the bladder - the norm is up to 10% of the rest, while with age this amount can increase.If after ultrasound or insertion of a catheter into the bladder (measurement of the amount of urine) the volume in the bladder is sufficient, then the man is at least in danger.
- The study of urine flow rate - a deviation from the norm of 15 ml/sec 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 for treating 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.Today's technologies allow the use of heat or cold to remove individual areas of the gland.Hyperplastic tissue is removed within a few minutes under local anesthesia.This is the most painless and safest method, after which there are no complications.There were also no side effects from this treatment.Slight pain after surgery disappears in a few days.There is also no need to take additional medication.The only drawback of this method of treatment is the lack of knowledge.Currently, it is also impossible to talk about the duration of effective treatment - it is individual.
The waiting method is the longest, but it is especially effective for those who carefully follow all the doctor's instructions.If the patient adheres to the prescribed diet, leads a healthy lifestyle and has regular check-ups with the doctor, his recovery is a matter of time.In addition, regular monitoring allows us to identify the characteristics 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.Therefore, to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to consult an expert.
Treatment of a large prostate adenoma is now carried out without surgery, except when the volume exceeds 100 cubic centimeters.Despite the seeming obsolescence of the pelvic surgery process, there are advantages to the surgery.Hospitalization with surgery does not last longer than two days;rare complications can cause an increase in hospitalization to 4-5 days.Only local anesthesia is used, so you can move around the next day.It is recommended to limit physical activity for a month after surgery.Recurrence of the disease is impossible.
So, given the variety of treatment methods and drugs created to eliminate inflammation, you only need to consult your doctor and undergo diagnostics in the clinic.Prostate adenoma treatment is beneficial when performed by professionals!
