Prostate disease is a medical condition that affects the prostate gland, which is located in men between the bladder and rectum. It can cause symptoms like frequent or painful urination, difficulty passing urine, blood in the urine or semen, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, and other urinary problems.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer found in men over 50 years old and should be identified early as it may require prompt treatment options such as radiation therapy or surgery to prevent progression into advanced stages. Other conditions associated with this type of illness include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate caused by non-cancerous cell growth; prostatitis (inflammation); and seminal vesicle obstruction due to blockage from a foreign body like scar tissue.
Treatment for these illnesses usually depends on their severity but typically consists of medications and lifestyle modifications to reduce further complications. It occurs when an enlargement of the prostate gland causes difficulties in urination and/or ejaculation. Symptoms can range from minor discomfort to serious complications such as urinary tract infections or even more severe symptoms like erectile dysfunction.
Treatment for prostrate problems often depend on the severity and may range from lifestyle changes (e.g., increased water consumption) to prescription medications such as alpha-adrenergic blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, which help shrink enlarged prostates causing fewer bladder obstructions. Surgery may also be used as treatment in some cases if other treatments are not effective enough or do not provide relief quickly enough.
