The condition may surface due to inflammation of the wall of bladder or there could also be stricture of urethra, and Vas deference. Its role lies in secreting an alkaloid fluid that forms part of the semen. Enlargement of prostate is a common problem in old age when neck of the bladder gets obstructed, resulting in impaired\/ hindered urination. As long as prostate gland does not get enlarged or inflammed, hardly any problem is faced in passing urine but, when the bladder dilates an increased pressure is transmitted, through the ureters, to the kidneys’ nephrons, it leads to impaired and damaged renal functioning.<\/p>\n

Since this is a common disease. I would dwell upon it in more detail. Some doctors assert that male persons who do not indulge in sex are rarely victims to this malady while others opine that those who indulge in sex act regularly\/frequently are not likely to suffer from this malady. Actually, these are two extreme opinions but there are great many exceptions, in both the cases, which belie both the opinions. These are mere speculations and have no relation to reality. The fact remains that any type of person can suffer from enlargement of this gland.<\/p>\n
Treatment : Surgical removal of the prostate gland (called ‘Prostatectomy’) is generally resorted to, so as to relieve retention of urine or to cure the symptoms of poor urinary flow and frequency, as medicines hardly have any effect to alleviate the problem, Moreover, to protect the kidney’s function and to relieve pressure thereon, operation becomes a necessity. When surgery is the only option, there ought to be no delay, as this operation is quite an easy one and as not beset with any problem, so to say.<\/p>\n
Cancer of prostate is not an uncommon symptom in which case surgical removal of the gland is necessary lest the cancerous growth engulfs surrounding areas\/organs also.<\/p>\n
In some cases some patients lose control over urinary flow and their urine passes unnoticed or involuntarily. This condition can be reversed and allayed by subsequent oral treatment or minor operation, if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
