Prostate enlargement is on the
prowl, taking its toll on the health of the menfolk. The Prostate Research
Institute in the United States of America, in a report said that among every
six men, two are likely to suffer from the disease which, if not diagnosed
early and effectively treated, can degenerate to prostate cancer. Research has
also confirmed that in Africa, the rate of prostate enlargement and cancer is
relatively high.
Apparently worried by the dangers of
the ailment, orthodox medical practitioners have been able to achieve maximum
result.
But the Managing Director of Qumas
Herbs Nigeria Ltd, a trado-medical expert, Dr. Olasunkanmi Azeez in this piece
declares that herbal medicine has a quick remedy for the disease. Azeez, who is
the chairman, Herbal Therapy Society of Nigeria, Lagos State chapter, stresses
that application of special herbal therapy against prostate enlargement and
prostate cancer can provide remedy for the ailments.
Prostate enlargement, a killer
disease
This ailment is common among the
male folk and very dangerous to their health because of its complications and
effects. It affects the male organ known as prostate gland which produces
semen, the male coloured fluid that nourishes and transports sperms during
ejaculation. Prostate gland is located beneath the bladder and surrounds the
urethra that is the tube that drains urine from the bladder. Whenever it
becomes enlarged, the prostate would begin to wield pressure on the urethra and
make urination difficult. This is common among men in their 40s and above when
they witness prostate growth. This is when prostate gland enlargement occurs
mostly because of the rapid growth of the central portion. The major
implication here is that as the tissues in the central area enlarge, they compress
the urethra and partly block the flow of urine. Men who have difficulty in
urinating most likely have prostate enlargement problem.
Suffice it to say that prostate
enlargement is a disease of elderly men. It causes severe pain, anxiety,
discomfort and loss of consciousness. It has posed a global challenge to
medical experts.
A prostate case not detected early
enough can degenerate to prostate cancer. Reports have confirmed that men in
their 40s and 50s are dying of prostate problems. Men in this age bracket are
expected to go for tests, particularly prostate scan, to confirm their status
and go for early intervention if it is confirmed that they are having prostate
enlargement challenge.
Causes
Diverse causes account for prostate
enlargement.
In most cases, doctors find it
difficult to diagnose the causes. But it cannot be unconnected with ageing and
changes in the ratio of male hormone testosterone level that stimulates
prostate growth. It has been medically established that one of the major causes
is hormonal imbalance, especially among men who use drugs to enhance their
sexual performance, thereby activating the level of their testosterone hormone
beyond the normal level.
Commonly, it is sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs) such as Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Staph, among others that
degenerate into prostate enlargement if they become chronic due to failure to
treat them on time. At birth, the prostate is about the size of a pea and
during childhood, it grows a bit and at the age of 25, it develops fully. One
major danger associated with prostate enlargement is that, a man may wake up in
the morning and night and not be able to urinate due to enlargement of the
prostate gland which puts pressure on the urethra, making it difficult for
urine flow.
Symptoms
There are different symptoms of
prostate enlargement. The sufferer is unable to maintain flow of urine till the
end- that is stopping and starting while urinating. Another symptom is
dribbling at the end of urination. Other symptoms include frequent pressure to
urinate, increased frequency of urination at night, urgent need to urinate,
inability to empty the bladder, blood-stained urine, weak urine and urinary
tract infection. When symptoms are noticed, it is advisable to avoid condiments
and alcoholic beverages. This helps to lessen bladder irritation which may
promote infection. It is also important to avoid cold conditions or allow urine
to accumulate before passing it.
Diagnostic methods
These include PSA test (Prostate
Specific Antigen test) and DRE (Digital Rectal Examination test) which is a
simple clinical procedure for detecting prostate enlargement through the use of
finger digits.
Prostate cancer
Prostate enlargement worsens when
the sufferer can no longer empty the bladder and must start using a catheter to
draw urine. But the danger of this is that bladder infection is most likely.
Prostate enlargement can lead to death, especially if it is left untreated and
becomes chronic. At this level, it can degenerate to prostate cancer. Cancer can
spread faster in the body system than other infections or viruses. When it gets
to this stage, death can occur. But no matter the magnitude of the ailment,
herbal medicine has a sure remedy for it.

discovered conventional drugs to tackle the ailment, reports have confirmed
