Understanding the Prostate
The prostate is a sex gland that is a part of the male reproductive system. Its main function is to produce a fluid that forms part of the semen, which nourishes and transports sperm. Located just below the bladder, the prostate surrounds the urethra, the tube responsible for carrying out urine from the bladder to the outside of the body through the penis.The prostate continues to grow as men age. The first growth period takes place during puberty, as a result of hormonal changes. The prostate doubles in size during this period, and then retains the same size until about the age of 25, when the prostate starts growing again. This growth continues throughout life, and peaks around the age of 50.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Around the age of 50, men start feeling the effects of their enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Because the prostate surrounds the urethra, its advanced growth can lead to a pinching of the tube. This causes urinary difficulties like straining and pain during urination. This straining can cause bladder muscles to thicken and hold less urine and to lose the ability to completely empty itself. This results in urinary retention, which can cause complications like UTI. While the condition is benign and not as dangerous as prostate cancer (which is caused by the growth of cancerous cells in the prostate), its symptoms can cause a lot of embarrassment and misery to its sufferers.Coping with BPH
Naturally, having these troublesome BPH symptoms would send men running to the doctor for treatment. Fortunately, there are many ways to manage the condition. Both doctors and patients have a wide range of choices when it comes to medication. If one type does not work, then they can move on to a different kind of prescription.Similarly, improvements in surgery are continuously being made, so men could expect better results and fewer complications and side effects.However, medication and surgery is not always the answer, especially for those whose symptoms do not warrant the complicated process of surgery or for sufferers who do not wish to take chemical drugs. Watchful waiting – which entails making a few lifestyle changes and a regular monitoring of symptoms without taking medication – is probably the best option.
But why wait for your symptoms to worsen? Will it not be better to prevent symptoms from developing and getting worse?
