The Prostate Center: Prostate Enlargement

May 19th, 2012 No comments

Prostate is a male gland needed for reproductive functions, it produces fluid used for sperm transport for the purpose of ejaculation. Prostate can grow slowly and affect urinary tract causing problems, this affects many men and the risk gets increased with age. Prostate enlargement also causes bladder problems and related complications.

Does an enlarged prostate help improve sexual stamina?

I haven’t had it checked yet, but I think I have and enlarged prostate.
I recently started constantly feeling a slight sense of pressure right there on the spot where the prostate is.
On the exact same day that I noticed this discomfort in the prostate area, I started having unusually hard erections.
My morning erections have been just like the ones I used to have when I was 18.

Have not been taking any drugs, viagra, steroids or bodybuilding supplements of any kind.

If this is the side effect of having an enlarged prostate, then I think I will be very happy living with the slight discomfort and irregular urination that this condition is known for.

Will be going to the doc ofcourse, but just wondering if others have experienced something like this also?

An enlarged prostate does not improve sexual stamina. This is because the enlarged prostate has no impact on blood flowing in or out of the penis. What you are experiencing is a reaction that the penis sometimes gets hard when the bladder is very full. Since the enlarged prostate makes it more difficult to empty the bladder, you are getting hard more easily. But you will orgasm just as fast as before, so your sexual stamina will be unchanged.

Separately, most men cannot feel anything from an enlarged prostate, outside of the problem with urinating. Since you feel something, go to doctor and get it checked out.

An enlarged prostate is a very common problem in men over 50. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include decrease in urinary flow, increase in urinary frequency, urgency, and feelings of incomplete bladder emptying. Treatment options range from behavioral modification, to medications, and sometimes minimally invasive surgical intervention.

Natural Remedies Enlarged Prostate Part 5

Uroxatral has anyone used this for enlarged prostate?

Im in my 20s and have an enlarged prostate. My urologist put me on Uroxatral. Has anyone ever taken this? What results did you see?

I tried Uroxatral but it seems like Flomax gave me better results when I was having prostate issues. The nice thing about Uroxatral was that I did not have the side effects that Flomax gave me, mainly headaches and dry ejaculations.

Both drugs take a while to work. The advice my urologist gave that seemed to help was to take the medicine 30 minutes after the LAST meal of the day.

By the way, my original diagnosis was prostatitis, but my updated diagnosis is chronic pelvic pain syndrome, so I just take the Flomax when I am having urinary/prostate symptoms.

Good luck with your treatment!

Prostate Home Remedies : www.balancedhealthtoday.com Natural Remedies Enlarged Prostate : www.balancedhealthtoday.com The prostate is a small gland specific to men, located beneath the urinary bladder and wrapped around the urethra. The healthy human prostate is slightly larger than a walnut and although it is called a gland, since it is made of two lobes completely surrounded by an outer tissue layer; the term organ is a more fitting description. With the process of aging, it is quite common for the prostate gland to become enlarged. As a man matures, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, during male genital development, when the prostate doubles in size. Diagnosing Enlarged Prostate The diagnosis of a swollen prostate is made by a rectal examination, urinalysis, a check of the discharged fluid for signs of infection or inflammation, a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test, and frequently with ultrasound. Ultrasound has proven a particularly useful tool in diagnosing prostate enlargement. It allows doctors to view an image of the bladder, which tells them how well a man is emptying his bladder. The device is handheld, non-invasive and totally painless.

Dr. Robert Dreicer on Utilizing New Prostate Cancer Therapies

Can epididymitis lead to enlarged prostate or prostatitis?

im 28 male and had testicle pain went to doctor got ct scan and seen resolving epididymitiis he never gave me antibiotic. now i have enlarged prostate/prostatitis and finally gave me antibiotic. this is very bothersome only symptom i got now is rectum pressure and feeling of sitting on golfball at times it comes and goes. put me on aleve regimen and zpack(Azithroymicin) any help on what to do or expect?

It isn’t incredibly common or a usual pathology examined.. but the vas deferens does move from the posterior testes to the bladder and in the proximity of the prostate. So infection could theoretically travel to the prostate and cause inflammation.

I disagree with the original physican not giving an antibiotic, but this is moot now that you have Azithromycin. The rectum pressure is the prostatitis not so much the epididymitis.

Cipro is a good antibiotic for prostatitis, and Zithromax, is a good antbiotic for epi,.. as it covers both common STD’s that cause 80% of Epididymitis.

Give the antibiotics time to work.. 7-10 days,.. rest, and pain medication would NOT be out of the usual. If you were given none, call the prescribing doctor, indicate your pain,.. and you should get some pain medication to help you while the antibiotics do their thing.

If it gets worse, or has not improved AT ALL within 5-7 days.. go back or go see another Urologist.

This can be easily remedied with medication.
