From age 50 years and over men must be wary. Because four of the five men, ages 50 years at increased risk of prostate disorders. Increasing age, higher prevalence.
Thus revealed dr. Rachmat B. Santoso, Sp.U from the National Cancer Center Hospital Dharmais during Prostate Cancer Awareness Early Detection in RS Dharmais, Jakarta.
"Men should be like that because we have the hormone testosterone produced by the testes," said the doctor graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia.
He further explained that in the body, hormones, transformed into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). As we age, DHT will be more and more, the result will be further enlarged prostate. Prostate normal weight is 20 grams, but when it increases to reach 100 grams.
When enlarged prostate so it will clamp the urethra tract or bladder channel that passes through the prostate to the penis. The prostate itself is situated between the base of the penis and bladder. "If it's been like this, it is concerned will be hurt," said Rachmat.
Interference, which meant among other things difficult to urinate (pee must first wait 1-2 minutes just to start a pee), often pee (in a day can be 6-7 times), frequent waking during sleep the night to pee (frequencies above 2 times), if feels like pee should immediately go to the bathroom because it can be wet, naturally dribbing terminal or pee in my pants first, weak urinary stream (not much longer), and urine containing blood seems clear though.
As a result, these men will feel sick every time pee, urinary tract infections because there is residual urine left behind due to terjepitnya urethra, resulting stone (urine retained will create residues that will gradually solidify and harden) and if clogged urethra becomes chronic kidney will swell. As a result of renal failure occur.
According to Rachmat, when it's like, it is necessary remedial action. Handling The first is by way of treatment. Drug administered is a-blockers for an enlarged prostate makes muscles relax. Other drugs are a-reductase inhibitors to reduce prostate volume. "The treatment is conducted over six months - one year in a row," he said.
If treatment is not effective, he added, then endoscopy for prostate meresesi so they no longer pinch the urethra canal or gallbladder disease. But if a severe prostate disorder, then that must be done is to operate on the prostate. "It's very risky because it can cause impotence," said Rachmat warned.
Prostate function itself, he continued, is to help produce semen to facilitate sprema cells move towards the ovaries.
