Prostate gland enlargement: Complications
BPH - Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate &
Complications:
A male organ,
the prostate gland is located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. The
main function is to secrete semen, a milky-colored fluid that nourishes and
transports sperm during ejaculation. THE AGE above 40, happens to be a period
of prostatic growth for most men. It is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), AN enlarged
prostate condition. PROBLEM occurs when there is rapid multiplication of
cells in the central portion of the gland, the prostate presses on the urethra
and partially blocks OR INTERRUPTS the urine flows.
Symptoms include difficulty in
urination, ON AND OFF STREAM while urinating, and some time blood in the urine,
Post-urination drip, need to exert extra force while urinating. The patient may
feel a strong urge to urinate, especially at night; however, he may not be able
to empty the bladder completely.
New Non-surgical treatment for
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) IS By Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) which shows
better result than open surgeries. PAE can be performed on any size prostate,
It does not produce the side effects that TURP /laser surgery does, it is done
through a small nick in skin around the groin region, it is A pain less
technique & THE PATIENT leaves the hospital in a day after PAE, No
sexual dysfunction following prostatic artery embolization and a quarter of
patients report that sexual function improved after the procedure. It
need just local anesthesia, no blood loss and it makes faster recovery.
