Male reproductive organ which is often problematic is the prostate gland. Gland located between the bladder and urinary tract bag out (urethra) this is just for walnuts. However, once disturbed, not the play result. Weight of gland that surrounds the urethral canal is normal in men approximately 20 grams. Function as a producer of cement liquid (semen) which keeps the sperm to stay alive.
When he reached the age of puberty, the prostate gland begin to make seminal fluid. As people age, men can experience prostate problems such as enlargement, inflammation, and even cancer. That is what can cause death.
Dr. Johan Wibowo, Sp.BU, from the Section of Urology Omni Medical Center Hospital, Jakarta, explained there are three types of disorders of the prostate. First, benign prostate enlargement (RPM). This disorder is a condition of excessive growth of the prostate gland.
RPM can press the urethra (urinary tract outside), resulting in narrowing of the urethra. This affects the flow of urine and can cause further damage to the kidneys. Approximately 20 percent of men at the age of 50 years never have an enlarged prostate, and at the age of 80 years likely to reach 90 percent!
Generally there are two main factors that influence the cause of this disorder, namely increasing age and functioning of the Leydig cells of the testis as a major androgen-producing hormones, namely testosterone. Changes in testosterone into dehidrostestosteron (DHT) in prostate cells become factors in the nucleus of the entry of DHT to prostate cells that can cause the inscription on the RNA, resulting in the formation of proteins that cause prostate cells to multiply.
Several animal studies to prove the hormone estrogen plays at the beginning of the process of RPM. The hormone estrogen is derived from changes in testosterone into estrogen by aromatase enzyme katalizator assistance that occurs in fat tissue.
Someone who had shown some symptoms of prostate enlargement-related expenditure of urine, ie, weak urinary stream, urinary lampias not, piss disjointed, as she began to urinate while, frequent urination, urination should be in a hurry, wet or dripping urination, urinating in night more than twice.
Early Detection
Second, inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis). Prostate gland can become infected by bacteria and inflamed and swollen, causing pain. Inflammation of the prostate can occur instantly and are acute or chronic.
More than 35 percent of men ages 50 years and over suffer from inflammation of the prostate. This is most common in men who experience urinary tract inflammation repeatedly. Approximately 80 percent of men with this disorder is caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli, and the remainder by the bacterium Klebsiella, Enterobakteri, Pseudomonas, Streptokokkus, and Stafilokokkus.
All the bacteria are spread through the bloodstream, moving from the urethra and then spread to the prostate gland. Chronic prostate inflammation usually caused by bacterial invasion from the urethra.
Patients with acute inflammation of the prostate that showed symptoms of fever, chills, backache, muscle ache, a sense of swelling in the groin, and pain in joints, always and often dispose of urine, such as burning waste as urine, and cloudy urine.
Complications are usually in the form of inflammation of the urinary tract. At some, the pain often encountered when ejaculate when sexual intercourse, the presence of blood in the sperm, and decreased sexual function.
Third, prostate cancer. Attacking cancer of the prostate gland, so that cells grow abnormally and uncontrollably. In recent years, prostate cancer is the commonest malignancy in men in the United States.
Data from 13 medical schools in Indonesia is showing prostate cancer included in the 10 most common malignant disease in men. On the Subdivision of Urology, Department of Surgery Faculty of medicine / RSCM, during the period 1995-1998 found an average 17 cases per year and ranked second after jar of cancer (bladder).
Prostate cancer is divided into two major categories, namely, that cancer is still limited in prostate organ (early cancer) and that has spread outside the prostate, either to the surrounding organs or metastasize (spread) far (advanced cancer).
According to Dr. Sugiarto Budi Widjaja, TCM doctors practicing in the Omni Medical Center Hospital and Clinic of TCM in Beijing, Jakarta, prostate cancer causes are unknown. In the early stages of this disease did not show any symptoms.
Once cancer develops, a larger tumor will press on surrounding body parts. Other symptoms that may occur are soreness at the time of ejaculation. If you already have spread to other organs, symptoms are more varied, for example the spread in the bone can cause pain in bones and joints.
American Cancer Society recommends men over the age of 50 years following the program of early detection of prostate cancer by screening prostate specific antigen (PSA) and total anal-called digital rectal examination (Dre). If there is a history of cancer in the family, prostate cancer early detection program is recommended since the age of 40 years.
Apples and Tomatoes
Onions are believed to provide the best protection against prostate cancer, while red meat became the biggest risk factors for this disease. The researchers also managed to identify what to protect and increase the risk of prostate cancer. Products derived from animals found to be a risk factor, and vegetable products-lowering factor.
Meanwhile, a U.S. research examining the effects of consumption of tomato sauce in about 50 000 men. The result, consumption of tomato sauce two times per week is believed to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer up to three-fold.
The secret lies in lycopene, an antioxidant that makes tomatoes red. The researchers speculate that lycopene joining the elements that make it easier for attackers disease for the body to absorb in the form of raw tomato sauce instead.
Dr. Edward Giovannuci, a nutrition expert at Harvard Medical School who led the research for 12 years revealed that tomato sauce is the ideal source of lycopene. For sauce, bring a high concentration of compounds due to the heating process in the production.
Results of other studies, men are encouraged to consume a lot of apples and beans contain kuesertin. These recommendations based on research Rochester, scientists at the Mayo Clinic, USA, published in the journal Carcinogenesis.
In laboratory tests by Nianzeng Xing, cancer experts from the Department of Urology at the Mayo Clinic, proving that kuesertin able to block the male hormone receptors. The task of this receptor to activate genes that regulate the production of various hormones on the prostate channel. The number of receptors that are too abundant to stimulate cells to multiply uncontrollably and cause cancer.
According to Xing, still needed more in-depth research to trace the workings kuesertin. However, its findings at least open a new hope for patients with prostate cancer. Xing suggested kuesertin reproduce natural source of food consumption such as apples, beans, oranges, tea, and red onion.
