WHAT PROBLEMS CAN PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT CAUSE?

The common problem of old age men’ benign prostate enlargement ‘Negatively affects quality of life. Dr. drawing attention to the problems caused by the disease, listed the ways of treatment.

Prostate diseases are mostly seen from the age of 50, while sometimes they can also cause problems in young men. But many of the men who complain of prostate enlargement are ashamed to go to the doctor. Some are also afraid to be examined for fear of ‘contracting the virus’ in the process. However, some health problems that may occur can be prevented by early diagnosis, urology specialist Assoc. Dr. described what needs to be known about the disease as follows.

.
IN WHICH WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

The prostate is one of the most common organs in the male body. Growth in the prostate gland blocks the flow of urine. For this reason, patients experience symptoms such as waiting when they start urinating, the need to urinate frequently while sleeping at night, the need to urinate urgently, interrupted urination, straining and straining when urinating, and the feeling of remaining urine in the bladder.
What are the reasons?

The exact cause of benign prostate enlargement is not exactly known. But the appearance of this condition in old age, changes in the balance of hormones that occur in old age, or in people who are genetically prone to this condition, brings to mind the effect of male hormone (testosterone), which the prostate gland has been exposed to over the years. As a finding supporting this idea, prostate enlargement is not seen in the old age of patients whose testicles (testicles are the main place of production of testosterone, the male hormone) had to be removed at a young age.

.
IS IT DANGEROUS?

Contrary to popular belief in society, benign prostate enlargement is not cancer. And it doesn’t lead to cancer. But because some patients experience a combination of benign prostate enlargement and prostate cancer, there is a misconception in society. May pose a hazard not just vital in the growth of the prostate, while highly enlarged prostate, urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, bladder stones, and bladder urine bag and progressive deterioration of renal function also accumulated in the kidneys can cause kidney failure.

.
WHEN DO I NEED SURGERY?

Currently, with medical and surgical treatments in Antalya and Istanbul Turkey, patients ‘ complaints are reduced, and even the problem can be completely eliminated. In operations, methods such as Greenlight, HoLEP, which are used as part of the tour-prostate, or laser prostatectomy method, are used. In the very growing prostate (>180-200 gm), the open method is used. Prostate water vapor ablation (prostate SBA) method, which has been applied for the last 3 years, has also prevented the return of semen for the first time.

.
DO SEXUAL PROBLEMS OCCUR?
