The prostate is an organ of the size of a nut that surrounds the low part of the masculine bladder opposite to the rectum. The prostate produces the fluids in the semen that they nourish and transport the sperm. As the men age, it is common that the prostate is enlarged.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
The common symptoms of an expanded prostate are:
- Make difficult to urinate or a jet of weak urine;
- Interruption and I begin again during the micturition or significant dripping after urinating;
- Incomplete emptying of the bladder;
- Need to urinate again immediately after having done it;
- Frequent micturition, especially in the night;
- Urgent need to urinate; and
- Blood in the urine.
CAUSES AND FACTORS OF RISK
Is still not known what is what provokes the enlargement of the prostate. The risk factors include:
- Age;
- Race;
- Familiar precedents; and
- Marital status (the married men have major indexes of expanded prostate than the bachelors).
DIAGNOSIS
In general, the doctors use a rapid test to diagnose and to verify the gravity of an expanded prostate. The test known as International Index of Prostate Symptoms, needs that the patient registers the frequency of urinal symptoms in the last month. There is indicated usually also a study of flow of urine that measures the force of the jet of urine.
The doctors realize an examination of rectal tact and the blood test of specific prostate antigen (PSA, is his initials in English) to detect prostate cancer. Although the PSA is not used to diagnose an expanded prostate, his level in blood is raised moderately in 30 to 50 per cent of the men who suffer the illness.
METHODOLOGY OF THE TREATMENT
The treatment for an expanded prostate depends on the gravity of the symptoms.
If the symptoms are light, many doctors recommend to remain in observation, which means to programme regular control panel to evaluate the prostate more than her to treat really.
The moderate symptoms can need treatment with medicines. The alfabloqueantes relax the muscles that surround the urethra, allowing a finished urine flow. The finasterida can reduce the size of the prostate. In accordance with the investigations, an extract of American dwarf palm (grass that it is possible to buy without recipe) also treats the prostate enlargement and improves the urinal symptoms.
The serious symptoms can indicate surgery, such as the following options:
- · Resection transuretral of the prostate, or RTUP;
- · Incision transuretral of the prostate, or ITUP;
- · Open Prostactectomía;
- · Surgery laser; and
- · Ablation transuretral with needle or PRICKLY PEAR (there are his initials in English).
To adopt certain habits can reduce the symptoms of an expanded prostate. The doctors can recommend to limit the drinks consumption in the night; to reduce the consumption of alcohol, which stimulates the micturition and irritates the bladder; and to do exercise regularly.
