Prostate Problems

Prostate cancer is not the only prostate problem that attack men. There are also other disease that can occur in prostate:
  • Prostatitis
    Prostatitis is a term that use for prostate gland inflammation. If you have prostatitis, you may have a burning feeling when you urinate, or you may have to urinate more often. Or you may have a fever or just feel tired. Prostatitis term is general, so it is not describe specific inflammation. There are four different forms of prostatitis, each with different characteristic.
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
    Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prostate enlargement to the point where urination becomes difficult, its often occurs in older men. If the prostate grows too large, it may constrict the urethra and impede the flow of urine, making urination difficult and painful and in extreme cases completely impossible. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can be treated with medication, a minimally invasive procedure or, in extreme cases, surgery that removes the prostate. Urinary frequency due to bladder spasm, common in older men, may be confused with prostatic hyperplasia. Statistical observations suggest that a diet low in fat and red meat and high in protein and vegetables, as well as regular alcohol consumption, could protect against BPH.
