All we need to know about proastate enlargement

The prostate gland is a part of the reproductive system whose secretion supports sperm formation. This gland is located inside the abdomen just below the urinary bladder and on the topmost region of the urethra which drains urine from bladder to urethra. It is one among the three glands of a reproductive system whose secretion is alkaline and provides nutrition and lubrication for the maturation and motility of sperm. The prostate gland secretes fibrinolysin, zinc, prostate-specific antigen, a proteolytic enzyme, etc, and together with seminal vesicle forms the major fluid part of the seminal plasma and the semen also. Due to certain unknown regions the size of the prostate gland increases and affects the homeostasis of the body. If the size of the prostate increases it puts pressure on the bladder and the urethra too, through which urine is transported from the bladder out through the penis. In medical terms, this condition of enlarged prostate is called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH.

Symptoms

Normally when a person has an urge to urinate, urine from the bladder moves to the urethra without any problem but when the prostate becomes enlarged it provides a barrier for urine to flow from the bladder to the urethra. In this condition, the patient suffers from multiple difficulties during urination such as:-

  • Hasten to urinate. 
  • Periodic urination.
  • Irregular urine flood. 
  • Sleeplessness due to frequent urination at night. 
  • Trouble in starting of urination.
  • Drops of Blood in urine etc.
Diagnosis

There are several ways for diagnosing prostate enlargement which depends on symptoms and complications of the patient's condition such as:-
  • Urine test. 
  • Blood test. 
  • Prostate-specific antigen test. 
  • Urine flow test etc.
For more complicated situations professional recommends another test for diagnosis such as:-
  • Transrectal ultrasound. 
  • Prostate biopsy.
  • cystoscopy test etc.
Treatment :- Depending on the symptoms, size of the prostate, age, and overall fitness of patients experts go for different medications for the treatment of the disorder.

Medications:- The doctor gives different medicine to provide relief from the trouble of prostate enlargement. These medicines are given to the patient to cure the symptoms but not for the treatment of the problem. The medicine involves Alpha-blockers such as alfuzosin, tamsulosin, etc. These medicines relax the muscles of the prostate gland and help in the easy passage of urine during urination.

Lifestyle changes:-

Only medication will not help in the complete cure of enlarged prostate. The patient must adopt a healthy lifestyle in their daily routine such as:-
  • Doing meditation to control the stress full routine. 
  • Doing yoga and other pelvic floor exercises. 
  • Emptying bladder during urination. 
  • Avoiding taking fluid supplements at the night to avoid night urination. 
  • Avoiding smoking and alcohol. 
  • Consuming a high fiber diet and avoiding spicy and fatty meals.
Surgery approach:-

If medication and lifestyle changes are unable to improve the symptoms of the patient sufficiently, then the professionals go for a surgical approach. The patient also requires surgery if their symptoms become serious or if complications expand such complications are:-
  • Discomfort or serious difficulty with urination.
  • Kidney problems
  • Drops of blood in the urine.
