Hello friends today we are going to see a very important topic which is prostate gland hypertrophy & it's treaments
Prostate gland hypertrophy:
Because of this prostate gland enlargement men tend to have frequent urination at night. the frequent urination means they will get up from the bed they will run towards the toilet before they reach the toilet they will be dribbling of urine the drops of urine will be falling to the floor before they reach the toilet pan once they reach the toilet pan and when they start to initiate urination they will get stuck the urine will not come out smoothly it will come drop by drop and it will be highly painful and irritating and this process happens every day night four to five times which means it's very very highly difficult and highly irritating condition for any male so usually this prostate gland hypertrophy happens in males above 50 years of age.
How prostate gland enlarge:
Today we are going to see how this prostate gland enlarges the urinary problem occurs what are the treatment methods available see in this picture we can very clearly see that this is the urinary bladder and the urine which is formed here which is collected here it passes through this tube which is urethra and this urethra is wide and dilated and it is passing easily through this gland which is called the prostate gland which is located here. where there is prostate gland hypertrophy the gland has become enlarged because of this enlargement the urine which is formed here is not able to pass through freely because of the narrowed urethra here in prostate so this is called prostatic hypertrophy it usually comes in men aged above 50 years there is another condition called prostatitis which is infection of the prostate gland which can be easily cured by giving antibiotics but there is one another condition called a prostatic carcinoma.
Prosatic Carcinoma:
Prosatic carcinoma is one condition this is one of the rare cancer it is a highly chance that this cancer prostate will not grow and it will remain as such till death only very rarely this prostatic cancer cells they grow into proper cancer forming cells affecting all tissues so we can follow your weight and watch policy especially for prostate cancer.
Treatments:
Today's article we are mainly going to concentrate on this benign prostatic hypertrophy where there are some foods and there are some lifestyle changes which can really reduce the process size and bring back the person back to normal only if these measures fail then we have to go for medicines and treatment surgical modalities which we will see one by one.
1,Reduce weight:
Now we will see how to reduce this size how to reduce this prostate gland size so there are certain measures.
The first and most important thing is reducing the weight because weight plays a major role in development of prosthetic blood hypertrophy so if we try to reduce this weight by doing exercises this alone the reduction of obesity overweight alone will contribute to reduction in size of the prostate.
2,Best Foods:
Second most important thing is foods there are certain foods which are very beneficial for prostate so what are those foods?
Asian mushrooms:
Asian mushrooms are a class of mushrooms which are widely used and widely available so consume consumption of these asian mushrooms helps to reduce the size of prostate.
Pomegranate:
Pomegranate is a very good fruit and its juice is very helpful in reducing the size of prostate.
Nuts:
Consumption of nuts all that almonds pistas pistachios or nuts will lead to reduction in the size of prostate and there is certain fruits called avocado these avocado fruits also can lead to reduction in size of prostate.
Avoiding foods:
The another most important thing which we have to avoid in foods what is that food that is coffee & tea what is the problem there is a substance called caffeine in coffee this caffeine what this coffee does to the bladder is it actually the caffeine products has to be metabolized and then it passes out through the urine so when it goes down this caffeine actually irritates the prostate gland prostate tissues are leading to enlargement of the prostate tissues leading to abstraction of the urethra so avoiding caffeine will lead to reduction in the size of prostate.
Stress:
The last but not least the most important thing here is stress so what stress does to our prostate actually there are certain muscles which are surrounding the prostate so what happens to these muscles under tension and under stress these muscles are always in contractive state when a muscle is in contracted state what happens it gives pressure on the prostate because of the pressure of the prostate this prostate tube gets narrowed because of this narrowing the difficult there is difficulty in passing urine so once you release stress by meditation or yoga this meditation and yoga will lead to reduction in the stress reduction in tension and reduction in the tension in these muscles these muscles relax once these muscles relax the prostate gets relaxed and the urethra gets directed again and there will be smooth flow of urine.
Treatment of prostatic hypertrophy you can follow all these techniques starting from weight reduction to the footsteps which i told you to stress reduction if you are not able to control with these measures then you have to go to doctor.
Doctor's procedure:
Next step is to go to the doctor what the doctor will do is he will insert his hand through your rectum through the anus and then he will try to feel the prostate. suppose if the prostate is enlarged it will be felt through the rectum because the rectum and the prostate is situated very close to rectum when it is enlarged it can be easily felt through parachrom examination in addition to paractal examination, ultrasound examination also will tell you the exact size of the prostate.
Test procedures:
Once there is prosthetic hypertrophy the next step is to test for what is the type of swelling it is whether it is a normal benign swelling or it is a carcinoma so for that the tissue will be taken from the prostate again through the rectal root once you collect the tissues it will be sent for pathological examination and in the pathological examination suppose if it comes as carcinoma the treatment is different suppose if it comes as normal benign prostate hypertrophy the treatment is medicines.
Medicines:
The medicines could be alpha blockers see the alpha blockers what it will do is it will relax the muscles surrounding the prostate once the muscle surrounding the prostate is relaxed the urethra gets dilated there will be smooth passage of urine there is another class of medicines called 5 alpha reductase so this 5 alpha reductase is a finasteride medicine what it will do is it will lead to reduction in the secretion of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone when there is a reduced testosterone in the body it will lead to reduction in the size of the prostate which in turn will lead to dilatation of urethra and smooth passage of urine through the urethra.
So these two medicines will be tried in addition some antibiotics will be tried suppose if there is prostatitis there is infection of the prostate so the antibiotics can cure that also so these are the medicines which will be tried for some time for quite some time mostly brain hypertrophy may reduce the patient may get symptomatic relief but even after this medical treatment even after all those measures which i told you in the beginning yeah nothing works out then we will go for surgery.
Surgical method:
The surgical method usually involves transurital approach through the transversal approach the surgeon will approach the prostate he will try to reduce the hypertrophy and he will try to re-establish the urethral dilatation that is the surgery which will be done usually with this surgical approach the patient will will get symptomatic relief for quite some time suppose if it is a carcinoma the treatment is entirely different because for carcinoma is usually chemotherapy radiotherapy and a complete resection of prostate at the surrounding tissues which are already infiltrated with cancer cells that also will be removed that will be the surgical treatment for prostate.
Remember:
So these are the measures these are the treatment measures for prostatic hypertrophy so there are many people who doesn't know what is a prostate? how it gets inflamed how it gets hypertrophy? and what are the treatment measures available? so kindly please share this article with all your friends and relatives to spread the awareness about this prosthetic hypertrophy and the treatment methods available.
