Adenoma of the prostate gland or hyperplasia of the prostate gland (benign) is a disease that does not have dangerous consequences for health, but can seriously affect sexual life.Unlike cancer, adenoma is a benign formation, so the risk of the disease remains low.Externally, it is a lump or a set of lumps in 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 among 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 still remain unexplored.Currently, a man's age is considered to be the main reason - as soon as he reaches the age of fifty, the endocrine system begins to change, and age-related changes in the system are 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 frequency of the disease in young people is minimal.
The effect of bad habits is also not related to the onset of the disease.Smokers suffer from adenoma manifestations to the same extent as non-smokers.Abstinence or active sexual life, orientation (heterosexuality or homosexuality) also does not affect the appearance of adenoma.Thus, the disease is now only an age-related problem.
Treatment of prostate adenoma in men
When talking about the treatment of prostate adenoma in men, it is important to emphasize the symptoms of the disease.A benign tumor of the glands surrounding the urethra is not a reason to postpone a visit to the doctor.It is necessary to consult a specialist in time, because even a benign tumor can have a negative effect sooner or later.The inflammatory effect and tissue swelling are not immediately visible.Some time passes, and many doctors note swelling as the last stage of the disease.The first stage of the disease is frequent urination.One symptom is night trips to the toilet 3-4 times a night.Sometimes there are false calls.These are the first signs of an obvious disease.Inflammatory processes are characterized by a clear urge 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 complex solution to both problems is rarely acceptable.Visiting a doctor in a specialized clinic will help you find the right way to treat diseases.If prostatitis adenoma remains untreated during treatment, it can turn into a chronic form, which is more difficult and takes longer to treat.
Prostate adenoma also appears with age due to the smoothness of the bladder muscles.This is the main reason for the inconsistent and sometimes even untimely urge to go to the toilet.This problem is also the cause of adenoma.This symptom is often the main one when contacting a specialist.If left untreated, poor urination can lead to urinary incontinence, so it is important to contact a specialist immediately 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 tests are completed.If ten years ago it was possible to treat this disease only with the help of surgical intervention, now there are several different drugs that will help to eliminate the 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, treatment time.Compared to surgery, there are fewer complications, so after taking the main medication, it is enough to take a 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 aggressively and too quickly, as this can lead to additional problems or even infertility.Examination by a specialist urologist is the first step for proper treatment.The clinic offers examination by a specialist who treats diseases of the genitourinary system.Treatment of prostate adenoma depends on the test results.
The analyzes are carried out using our own technology developed by the best experts.There are four main treatment settings.
- The volume of urine in the duct, urethra and bladder.Evaluation is carried out on several indicators.The amount of fluid in each element, the fluid rate per day, bladder cleaning and some other specific parameters are also evaluated and a result is given on the bladder cleanliness - the norm is up to 10% of the rest, this amount can increase with age.If the volume in the bladder is sufficient after an ultrasound scan or catheter placement (measurement of urine volume), then the man is at least at risk.
- Studying the rate of urine flow - a deviation of 15 ml/sec or more from the norm allows us to accurately determine the effect of any organ and, in most cases, the prostate.
- The normal volume of the prostate gland should be 23x43x41 mm, so if the size is significantly more than the norm, then appropriate treatment is prescribed.
- Evaluation of the patient's well-being using a special scale.
Non-operative treatment of prostate adenoma
There are several methods for non-surgical treatment of prostate adenoma.In a specialized clinic, you can get rid of a significantly enlarged gland in 1-2 days without surgery or incisions.
The first method is called minimally invasive treatment of prostate adenoma.Instruments are inserted through the urethra.Technologies today allow the use of heat or cold to remove individual areas of the gland.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 no side effects of this treatment.After the operation, mild pain disappears during the day.There is no need to take additional medication.The only drawback of this treatment method is its ignorance.Currently, it is 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 carefully follow all the doctor's instructions.If the patient follows the prescribed diet, leads a healthy lifestyle and visits the doctor regularly, his treatment is a matter of time.In addition, regular observation allows to determine 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 get the desired result, it is necessary to consult a specialist.
Treatment of large prostate adenoma is now carried out without surgery, except in cases where the volume exceeds 100 cubic centimeters.Although the process of pelvic surgery may seem outdated, the surgery has its benefits.Hospitalization with the operation is no more than two days;rare complications may increase hospitalization to 4-5 days.Only local anesthesia is used, so you can move the next day.It is recommended to limit physical activity for one month after the operation.Recurrence of the disease is impossible.
Thus, taking into account the variety of treatment methods and drugs created to eliminate inflammation, you only need to consult your doctor and undergo diagnostics at the clinic.Treatment of prostate adenoma is beneficial when performed by professionals!
