Prostate
Awareness & Your Health |
There was
a time not too long ago when there was little awareness of the
prostate let alone diagnosis and treatment. Countless numbers of men
have suffered with the symptoms and many have died as a result of
this ignorance.
Today prostate disease is well defined and is no longer necessarily
considered a death sentence. The most effective methods for handling
prostate disease are knowledge and prevention.
WHAT IS THE PROSTATE?
The first step toward understanding how the prostate affects your
health is to learn what the prostate is and how it functions.
It is surprising how little many men know about such an important
part of their anatomy. The prostate is an important segment of the
male reproductive system. It is a gland that is located in the lower
abdominal cavity, just below the bladder, in front of the rectum and
behind the pubic bone.
It partially surrounds the urethra. The urethra is the channel that
carries urine to the penis from the bladder and it runs right
through the prostate. A healthy prostate is about the size of a
walnut, weighs approximately 1 ounce and is shaped similar to a
donut.
There are "seminal vesicles" that are attached to the prostate. They
produce a protein that mixes with prostatic fluid which forms semen.
How this works is that tubes from the testicles carry sperm up to
the prostate where sperm is mixed with the seminal vesicle and
prostatic fluids.
This fluid is ejaculated during orgasm through ejaculatory ducts
that connect to the urethra. In addition, the prostate helps to
control the flow of urine.
Nearly every man will experience some type of prostate problem
during his lifetime. Men who are over forty-five may experience
an enlargement of the prostate. While this is not a problem in
itself, it is uncomfortable and can be a forerunner to other more
serious maladies which we will discuss further.
THE SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATE PROBLEMS
Enlargement of the prostate is called benign prostate hypertrophy,
or BPH. While this growth is usually considered a nuisance, if a man
experiences problems with burning, or difficult urination at any
time, the prudent course of action is consulting a urologist or
treating it with medication or preferably with natural supplements.
Many health breakthroughs have led to herbal and natural means of
prevention and treatment.
Other symptoms may be:
|
• |
A Weak Urine Stream.
|
|
• |
A Sensation that the Bladder
is not Emptying. |
|
• |
Frequent Urinating, Especially
at Night. |
|
• |
An Intermittent Starting and
Stopping of the Urinary Stream. |
|
|
After a diagnosis of BPH, many men will just continue to live
with the symptoms and subsequent discomfort. It is not a life
threatening condition, and there are proven natural treatments.
In extreme cases surgery might be considered if the enlargement
is significant. However, this can lead to sexual dysfunction and
many debilitating issues such as diapers. Make it your last
resort.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
Prostate cancer can occur in any man but there are certain "risk
groups." Younger African American men appear to have twice the
risk and fatalities of Caucasians. Sadly, many are not diagnosed
before they reach the age of 50.
Another risk group is men who have a family history of prostate
cancer, placing them in the same group who may contract the
disease before the age of 50.
The only method to determine whether you are at risk for
prostate cancer is diagnostic testing. The earlier you are
screened the higher your chances of survival.
