Prostate

The Prostate:
Is a gland found only in men that is typically the size of a walnut. It is located near the bladder and the rectum. A portion of it surrounds the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder. The prostate is responsible for producing some of the fluid that makes up semen.

Prostate Cancer:
Prostate Cancer is the most common Cancer in Men affecting 1 in every 7 men in the U.S.
The American Urological Association recommends Men between the ages of 55-69 to talk with their doctors about screening for prostate cancer. Younger patients (40-54) who are at high risk for prostate cancer (positive family history or African American race) or older patients (70+) who are in excellent health may also benefit from screening.

Prostate Cancer is usually detected with either a blood test called a PSA (prostate specific antigen) or a Digital rectal examination. If either of these tests are concerning, a biopsy of the prostate may be done to confirm the presence of cancer.

There are many treatment options available for prostate cancer. Generally speaking, very low risk cancer can be monitored. Riskier disease that is confined to the prostate can be treated with surgery and/or radiation. Very advanced disease can be treated with hormonal therapy and chemotherapy. A thorough discussion of all factors pertaining to the patient and the specific cancer need to be taken into account before deciding on a treatment plan.

Prostate Enlargement:
BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia) is a common condition affecting men over 50. Men with this condition may experience a variety of urinary symptoms including: Incomplete emptying, Frequency, Intermittency, Urgency, Weak Stream, Straining, Night Time voiding. Bladder Stones or Urinary infections may also develop.

Treatment is based off severity of Disease. Mild cases may be monitored. In more severe cases, Medication may be needed to shrink or relax the prostate to improve urination. Some patient may require surgery. There are several different procedures available which aim to remove any obstructing prostate tissue.
