What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
BPH is a condition in which the prostate does not fully empty. This condition can cause blockage of the urethra and can cause kidney damage if urine remains in the body for an extended period of time. Some symptoms of this condition include pain in the lower abdomen and in the genitals. Some men also suffer from a fever and chills. They may experience hard spots on their lower abdomen or genitals.
BPH is a common condition in men. Most patients have symptoms of urinary retention and other complications, but they usually go undiagnosed. While the size of the prostate does not directly correlate to the severity of symptoms, the presence of LUTS can make the condition more difficult to treat. If left untreated, BPH can lead to serious complications, including kidney damage and loss of sexual function. While BPH is rarely cancerous, it is still important to receive proper medical treatment.
Surgical procedures to remove the enlarged prostate are not the only option available. Patients should consult their health care provider for an appointment with a urologist. These procedures will allow your doctor to evaluate the size of the prostate, its size and any obstructions. A surgical procedure such as a transurethral incision will be necessary if the enlarged prostate is causing the narrowing of the urethra.
While surgery can cure BPH, you may still have to undergo surgical procedures to relieve the symptoms. After surgery, the scar tissue may cause problems. One such problem involves the narrowing of the urethra. This condition may require a transurethral incision. Another treatment option is urethral stretching, which can eliminate this problem. If you are diagnosed with BPH, your doctor can recommend the best course of treatment.
Depending on the type of treatment you receive, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. Antibiotics are prescribed before and after surgery to prevent infection. In addition, the urologist may insert a catheter through your penis. This catheter drains the urine from the bladder into a drainage pouch. After surgery, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic for you. You’ll probably need antibiotics to treat any infections.
The primary treatment for BPH is surgery. The treatment for BPH is aimed at treating the symptoms of this condition. Surgery is the only solution for this condition. In some cases, the enlarged prostate can cause severe symptoms. If you have the condition, you’ll have to undergo surgery to correct the problem. In many cases, you will need to undergo multiple surgeries. However, this is not a serious condition. Fortunately, there is no cure for BPH.
The treatment of BPH depends on the type of surgery performed. The surgeon may use a laparoscopy or a CT scan. The patient may also have a catheter placed in the urethra to make it smaller. The surgery will leave scar tissue around the bladder opening that will have to be treated. There are several options for this procedure. Some people will opt for a transurethral incision, while others will have the laparoscopy.
The best way to avoid developing BPH is to avoid alcoholic beverages and eating a balanced diet. Those who eat too much alcohol, fatty foods, and saturated fats are at risk for this condition. If you have a family history of this disease, you may want to consult a dietitian or urologist to determine the best nutrition for you. If you’re overweight, a change in diet can help reduce the symptoms of the condition.
BPH affects older men. It does not affect men who have had their testicles removed before puberty. It is mainly a problem in older men, and there is no specific reason to be worried about it. Fortunately, it can be treated without surgery and does not cause any health problems. The disease is treatable by a doctor and may be managed at home. In addition to treatment, it can also be controlled.
BPH can be treated with minimally invasive procedures. A urologist may choose to insert a cystoscope or catheter through the urethra to remove troublesome tissue. In this procedure, the patient will be given a local anesthetic and undergo a digital rectal examination. Other symptoms of BPH include difficulty starting and finishing the process of urinating, weak urine stream, and slowness in the flow of urine.
