Prostate is walnut sized gland that
wraps around the tube that carries urine from the bladder. Prostate
is a part of the male reproductive system. It secretes fluid that
nourishes and protect the sperm. The fluid excreted by the prostate
makes up about one-third of the of the semen by volume. It contains
various enzymes, zinc and citric acid.
More than half the men over 70 have a
benign growth in the prostrate or enlargement of the prostate.
Frequent urination,dribing or leaking urine may indicate a prostrate problem. Growing prostrate can also
indicate a prostrate cancer. Initially a doctor may do a digital
rectal examination to find any hard lumps that may be indicative of a
cancer. Ultra sound machines are also used to image the prostrate and
assess its actual size. Prostate specific antigen blood test will
also reveal suspected prostrate cancer.
Measuring the flow of urine may reveal
a prostate problem. Cysytoscopy is another method of diagnosing a
prostate problem. A thin tube with a lens is inserted into the
bladder through urethra. The doctor looks at the prostate through this
lens to ascertain any problem.
New drugs are available to shrink or
relax the prostate to keep it from blocking the bladder opening. A
controlled laser beam inside the prostate can be used to destroy
excess prostate tissue interfering with the exit of urine from the
body. An incision may be made in the urethra to widen it to allow
urine to be passed easily. Trans-urethral microwave thermotherapy may
be used to destroy prostate tissues. Electromagnetically generated
heat by using a needle-like device in the urethra may be used to
destroy excess prostate tissue.
For prostate enlargement exercise the
pelvic muscles to strengthen them. Aerobic exercise also will also help. Some people take Epsom salt bath to cure prostate enlargement.
This done by alternating hot and cold baths 2 or more times a day and
for two or three days a week. In Europe people used stinging nettle
root to treat prostate enlargement. Apple cider vinegar is also
consumed to alleviate the symptoms of prostate enlargement. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
Ayurveda recommends consuming squashes that are white inside. Asparagus and daikon are good. Including black
pepper, long pepper and ginger is advised.
