<p>Prostate  expansion is extremely common in men over fifty. In fact, it is the most  prevalent ailment among men this age.</p>
<p>Due to the  orientation of the prostate, its growth squeezes the urinary tract. Men with an <a href="http://prostatecancercare.net/enlarged-prostate-treatments"><strong>enlarged prostate</strong></a> tend to suffer <a href="http://prostatecancercare.net/male-urinary-problems"><strong>incontinence</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Incontinence varies from frequent urination to the inability to urinate to a weak stream or a  little amount of blood in the urine. While this condition is uncomfortable, there are many methods available to  bring down the problem and  improve the function of the narrowed urethra.</p>
<p>Enlargement of the prostate is a natural  phenomenon, but it needs to be closely monitored. Some people  encounter these symptoms but are not  concerned enough by them to need  medical care or surgery.</p>
<p>Symptoms may  show up that require medications. Flomax is one such  medication that can help reduce the size of the prostate and allow urine to flow  smoothly.  Find out <a href="http://www.prostatehealthproblems.com/" target="_blank">prostate pain symptoms</a> to improve your prostate care.</p>
<p>The  seriousness of the symptoms of a  protuberant prostate can  change, and it is  significant to have  frequent check-ups.</p>
<p>Symptoms that  necessitate immediate attention include: urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, severe urinary retention, and bladder stones. If you let the minor symptoms slide, you may end up in more  suffering with these more serious problems. These also require more  demanding methods of treatment than medication.</p>
<p>If your symptoms  deteriorate, and you  disregard it or hope it will go away, you can be doing more  damage to your body. Surgery, performed through the urethra, may become  indispensible.</p>
<p>These procedures  eliminate excess tissue or widen existing tissue to  permit smoother  flow of urine.</p>
<p><strong>In order to  get rid of tissue, surgeons may opt to use one of the  given methods:</strong></p>
<p> Electromagnetically-generated heat or microwave thermotherapy. These are  done through the urethra.</p>
<p>Another procedure, photo-selective vaporization, is also  done through the urethra, and  aims to relieve discomfort and pain caused by enlarged prostates. Small incisions are made into the bladder, and one  famous side effect is a temporary decrease in sexual functioning.</p>
<p>The above procedures may still not be  adequate to alleviate an enlarged prostate, especially if the condition has  magnified into prostate cancer.</p>
<p><strong>Surgical Options </strong></p>
<p> Likewise, there are surgical options if this is the  condition. Transurethral resection of the prostate, or TURP, involves  elimination of portions of the prostate. In more severe cases, a radical prostatectomy may be performed. This involves the  getting rid of of the  complete prostate.</p>
<p>Side effects of both  operations include sexual  non-function. Men may notice a decrease in sexual  activity, including  problems ejaculating. Additional surgeries can be undergone to  repair these side effects. Check <a href="http://www.prostatehealthproblems.com/articles/prostate-pain-is-cause-for-concern" target="_blank">prostate pain</a> to improve your <a href="http://prostatecancercare.net"><strong>prostate care</strong></a></p>
<p>You can prevent  crucial&nbsp;<strong> <a href="http://prostatecancercare.net/learnabout/menshealth.php" target="_blank">prostate problems</a></strong>&nbsp; and health effects if you are  be informed of symptoms and take  required  pre-requisites. It is likely that, as a man over fifty, you will suffer from some type of prostate problem. Take  treatmemt before symptoms become worse.</p>
<p> Sensible doctor visits can help  avoid surgery and can even stop cancer before it spreads. Men over 40 should consult their doctor&#8217;s and  find out about yearly prostate checkups.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- WSA: ad in context default not shown: too many ads -->
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Male urinary incontinence is less severe than female urinary incontinence. This is because of the unique features that only women pelvic muscles have.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><a href="http://prostatecancercare.net/remedy/bladdercontrol.php"><strong>&gt;Click here for your FREE Trial Bladder control Formula&nbsp; </strong></a></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Add to that the pregnancy and childbirth that women only experience. But this does not mean that male urinary incontinence is impossible. In fact, many men are experiencing uncontrollable urination especially during aging.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="http://prostatecancercare.net/remedy/bladdercontrol.php"><img border="0" src="http://media.markethealth.com/ads/1251412872Flostat-468-x-60--.gif" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong><a href="http://prostatecancercare.net/remedy/bladdercontrol.php"><strong>&gt;Click here for your FREE Trial Bladder control Formula&nbsp; </strong></a></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">If pregnancy and childbirth play important role for female urinary incontinence, it is aging that plays the major cause of male urinary incontinence.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">&nbsp;There are three forms of urinary incontinence for men. Firstly, the stress incontinence that is cause by involuntary loss of urine while the person is doing a stressful action like lifting a heavy object, coughing, and sneezing. Secondly, the urge incontinence that is differentiated by the involuntary loss of urine after the intense urge to release the urine. Lastly, the overflow incontinence that is defined as the steady and frequent dribbling of small amounts of urine. <span>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">&nbsp;Aside from aging, male urinary incontinence happens because of nerve problems and prostate problems.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="http://prostatecancercare.net/remedy/bladdercontrol.php"><strong>&gt;Click here for your FREE Trial Bladder control Formula&nbsp; </strong></a></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Fortunately, however intense your urinary incontinence is, it can always be cured.&nbsp; <a href="http://treatmentincontinence.com/bladder-control-medications">http://treatmentincontinence.com/bladder-control-medications</a> medical procedures and drugs are available to give your condition a relief and cure. But most of these will cause drastic side effects.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">No wonder why most urinary incontinence patients are choosing only an <a href="http://treatmentincontinence.com/" target="_blank">all-natural treatment</a> for incontinence. Aside from the effectiveness, this also cures without requiring you to suffer any serious side effects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The prostate is a glandular organ present in males.  It surrounds the neck of the bladder &amp; the first side of the urethra plus it contributes to the emission of seminal fluid.</p>
<p>The gland is tapering in form, 3 cm straight down diameter as well as 4 cm in sloping diameter. It has&nbsp; five lobes: fore, posterior, two lateral as well as a median lobe. Seeing as it is at the initial part of the urethra passage, any lesion in the prostate will raise blockage issues  in passing urine.<br /> <strong><br /> Diseases of the prostate gland:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Prostatitis:</li>
</ul>
<p> This is the inflamation of the prostate gland due to bacterial infection.</p>
<ul>
<li> Gentle bulge of the prostate:-</li>
</ul>
<p> This is a non <a href="http://cancer-info-blog.blogspot.com" target="_blank">cancerous</a> tumour of  the prostate seen after the age of 50.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sarcoma of the prostate&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p> A&nbsp; more serious condition which can result ultimately in death</p>
<p> <strong>Cancer of the prostate</strong></p>
<p>Cancer of the prostate is asscociated with the male gender hormones(androgens). If the levels of this male sexual&nbsp; hormone increases the growth rate of malignancy can also increase.It is noted that as soon as the removel of testes takses place there is marked reduction in the appearance of tumors.<br /> <strong><br /> Location of tumour</strong></p>
<p>Prostate malignancy is seen predominantly in the following lobe. Non cancerous amplification is seen in supplementary lobes.</p>
<p> <strong>Changes in the gland in malignant cells:</strong></p>
<p>The gland goes hard and bumpy along with loss of natural lobulation. Histologically prostate melanoma is an adeno carcinoma (malignancy of the epithelial cells in the gland)<br /> <strong><br /> Development :</strong></p>
<p>The advance rate can be very fast in prostate cancer. The tumour presses the urethra in addition to produce problems in urination.</p>
<p> <strong>Spread of tumour:</strong></p>
<p>Metastasis in malignant cells of the prostate</p>
<ul>
<li>Local spread</li>
</ul>
<p> Starting with the fore lobe the malignancy cells spread to the side lobes along with determining vesicles.Tumor cells also spread to the collar along with pedestal of the urinary bladder. </p>
<ul>
<li> Lymphatic spread</li>
</ul>
<p> From end to end the lymph vessel sarcoma cells reach the inner and external iliac cluster of lymph nodes. Starting nearby cells go to retroperitonial (Behind the peritonium) as well as mediastinal lymph nodes (in the chest)</p>
<ul>
<li> Spread from first to last the blood</li>
</ul>
<p> Spread of sarcoma cells takes place through the periprostatic venous plexus to the vertebral veins while coughing and sneezing in addition to the vertebral bodies of the lumbar spine.</p>
<p> <strong>Signs and symptoms of prostate melanoma</strong></p>
<p>Signs and symptoms depend on the stage of the malignant cells.</p>
<p> The following symptoms are listed</p>
<ul>
<li> No symptoms:</li>
</ul>
<p> Tumour is miniature and only in the subsequent lobe.  This is diagnosed accidentally. </p>
<ul>
<li>Urination:</li>
</ul>
<p> Now the tumour is inflated as the urethra is slightly packed in. In a minute there will be a repeated urge for urination through difficult urination.</p>
<ul>
<li> The tumour multiplies to all in the vicinity areas as well as the neck of bladder in addition to the urethra and at this stage there will be painful urination and bleeding.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Retention of urine:</li>
</ul>
<p> When the urethra is utterly condensed there will be withholding of urine.This may show up as hydronephrosis, renal collapse ect. In this statethe sufferer may get convulsions due to renal failure along with finally coma.</p>
<p> <strong>Signs of metastasis:</strong></p>
<p> a) Lumbo sacral &#8211; extending of tumor cells to lumbar along with sacral vertebrae.</p>
<p> b) Break of spinal column due to cancerous intensification in the spine.</p>
<p> c) Puffiness, pain as well as fluid collection in the abdomen due to laceration in the stomach.</p>
<p> d) Respiratory complaints due to tumor of mediastinal lymphnodes and lungs.</p>
<p> e) Common limitation due to spread of melanoma</p>
<p> f) Anaemia</p>
<p> <strong>Clinical examination :</strong></p>
<p>Includes rectal exam to feel the prostate gland, palpation of tummy to feel the inflammation in kidneys and any tumours. The patient is examined beginning head to foot to search for any lesions.</p>
<p> <strong>Investigations</strong></p>
<p>1) Whole blood investigations: RBC,WBC, Platelets, ESR, bleeding time, clotting time etc.</p>
<p> 2) Urine analysis: Microscopic examination to detect pus cells,occult blood,casts,Crystals ect.</p>
<p> 3) Renal function tests: Blood urea point, serum creatinine level, electrolyte level etc.</p>
<p> 4) Serum acid phosphatase: Augmented in sarcoma of prostate.</p>
<p> 5) x-ray of the spinal column: To notice any tumour or break.</p>
<p> 6) Ultra sonography: Gives idea about prostate, bladder, kidney etc.</p>
<p> 7) C T scan: More detailed information about organs in addition to tumour.</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.prostatecancercare.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> MRI of the spine: Gives complete information about spine ,disc and nearby soft tissues.</p>
<p> 9) Lymphangiography: Gives idea about lymphatic spread of cancer.</p>
<p> 10) Biopsy to back up suspected cancer diagnosis: Biopsy is taken plus histopathological examination of cells beneath the microscope.This will reveal the presence of sarcoma cells.<br /> <strong><br /> Treatment:</strong></p>
<p>1) If there is retention of urine, catheterisation is needed.<br /> 2) Dialysis, if kidney malfunction.<br /> 3) If there is coma, monitoring of all crucial functions together with parentral nutrition along with electrolyte supply.<br /> 4) Specific treatment is prostatectomy (removal of prostate)</p>
<p> Partial <a href="http://cancer-info-blog.blogspot.com" target="_blank">prostatectomy</a>:</p>
<p>At this juncture only the affected lobe is removed.</p>
<p> Far-reaching prostatectomy :</p>
<p>Total subtraction of prostate along with nearby lymphnodes.</p>
<p> 5, Hormone therapy : Stilbestrol is given to moderate tumour escalation.Since this treatment increases the possibility for cardiovascular disease phosphorylated diethyle stilbesterol is used at the moment.</p>
<p> 6) Chemotherapy: Drugs like cyclophosphamide, cisoplatim etc are specified.</p>
<p> 7) Radiotherapy is also prepared for several cases.</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.prostatecancercare.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Homoeopathy: Homoeopathic drugs akin to carcinocin, conium, sabal, crotalus, thuja, iodum, selinium, staphysagria, sulphur etc can be given according to symptoms. Constitutional homoeopathic medicine can offer&nbsp; relief.</p>
<p> 9) Yoga plus reflection and meditation is also helpful.</p>
