Sexual preservation for BPH prostate surgery

Urology Practice isa great pleace to start to look into If you’re experiencing symptoms of male incontinence, a local urologist can help. A local urologist can ask about your symptoms and recommend further testing or male incontinence treatment. Urethral inserts like Contino® are temporarily inserted into the urethra (the tube which carries urine to the outside of the body) to prevent or reduce bladder leakage. Damage to the kidneys can lead to swelling in the hands and ankles, high blood pressure, and other symptoms. 

Please contact ( Dr. Dean Elterman, Urologist Toronto, ON ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients. Prostate Cancer NOW is part of the Now Health Network and its focus is on muscular and skeletal  conditions.  In summary, there are many different treatments for prostate cancer.  Identifying the best treatment will depend on your specific situation and your preference after discussion with your doctor. It is not true Asian men have the lowest risk of developing prostate cancer. African men have the highest risk. Often seeing a local urologist in Toronto can help. 

Medications like alpha blockers don't actually treat BPH, they treat the symptoms by relaxing the muscle around the urethra, so thereby reducing some of the resistance.

Sometimes we will add in a second line medication in order to try and shrink the prostate. These medications are called the five alpha reductase inhibitors. So we have Proscar or Avodart These are medications which work by lowering the conversion of testosterone within the prostate. Over a period of 6 to 12 months, this can shrink the prostate by around 20%.

    Here are some key points: Symptoms of UTIs: Common symptoms of UTIs include frequent urination, urgency, dysuria (painful urination), discomfort in the bladder or suprapubic area, cramping, hematuria (blood in urine), cloudy urine, and unusual odor in urine. However, it's important to note that not all of these symptoms may be present in every case, and some individuals may experience different symptoms with each UTI episode. Gender Differences: The anatomy of the urinary tract differs between men and women, with women having a shorter urethra, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. As a result, women are more prone to UTIs, and experiencing one or two UTIs per year may not be considered abnormal. In contrast, UTIs are less common in men, and even one UTI may be considered abnormal. Factors such as an enlarged prostate in men can contribute to UTI risk by interfering with complete bladder emptying, providing a conducive environment for bacterial growth. Asymptomatic Bacteriuria: Some individuals, particularly postmenopausal women, may have bacteria in their urine without experiencing any symptoms (asymptomatic bacteriuria). In such cases, treatment with antibiotics may not be necessary unless symptoms develop. Factors Contributing to UTIs in Men: In men, factors such as incomplete bladder emptying due to an enlarged prostate can increase the risk of UTIs by allowing stagnant urine to serve as a medium for bacterial growth. This highlights the importance of proper bladder emptying and urinary tract hygiene in preventing UTIs. Overall, understanding the differences in UTI presentation between men and women, as well as the factors contributing to UTIs in each gender, is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management of UTIs. It also underscores the importance of tailored approaches to UTI prevention and treatment based on individual characteristics and risk factors.

    Frequent Urination: Patients with UTIs often feel the need to urinate more frequently than usual. Urinary Urgency: There is a sudden and compelling urge to urinate, sometimes making it difficult to reach the restroom in time. Dysuria (Painful Urination): Pain, burning, or discomfort during urination is a hallmark symptom of UTIs. Discomfort in the Bladder or Suprapubic Area: Some individuals may experience discomfort or pressure in the lower abdomen, particularly around the bladder area. Cramping: Cramping or abdominal discomfort may occur in some cases. Hematuria (Blood in Urine): Blood in the urine, either visible to the naked eye (gross hematuria) or detected under a microscope (microscopic hematuria), can be a sign of a UTI. Cloudy Urine: Urine may appear cloudy or murky, which can indicate the presence of bacteria or pus. Unusual Urine Odor: A strong or unusual odor in the urine can sometimes accompany a UTI, although this symptom may not always be present. It's important to note that symptoms can vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience all of these symptoms. Additionally, certain individuals, such as older adults or individuals with compromised immune systems, may present with atypical or nonspecific symptoms. If you suspect you have a UTI or are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment. Untreated UTIs can lead to complications and further health issues.

    benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), offering insights into its prevalence, impact on urinary function, and the role of the prostate in male reproductive health. You accurately describe BPH as an enlargement of the prostate, which is a gland involved in the male reproductive system and contributes to semen production. Your explanation of how, with aging, the prostate may grow and lead to the narrowing of the urethra, impacting urine flow, is informative and accessible. Highlighting the shape of the prostate as a doughnut and its location just below the bladder adds a visual element that aids in understanding the anatomical context of the condition. The narrowing of the central hole as the prostate enlarges, squeezing the urethra, is a succinct way to explain the mechanical aspect of BPH and its impact on urination. The statistics you provide about the prevalence of BPH among aging men, with 50% of 50-year-old men experiencing an enlarged prostate by the time they reach 80, offer a perspective on the widespread nature of this condition. Additionally, the mention of genetic factors and the potential influence of diet, particularly weight, on prostate growth adds valuable context to the discussion. Your concluding statement about the "luck of the draw" emphasizes that, to a large extent, the development of an enlarged prostate is influenced by factors beyond an individual's control, contributing to a better understanding of the condition. Overall, your explanation provides a well-rounded and accessible overview of BPH, making it easier for individuals to grasp the basics of this common age-related condition.

    The consideration of various treatment options and the classification into first, second, and third line treatments is a helpful way to approach the management of prostate-related symptoms. The emphasis on first-line treatments involving behavioral and lifestyle modifications is crucial. Addressing factors such as fluid intake, coexisting medical conditions like diabetes, and the impact of medications on symptoms is a sensible and comprehensive approach. Lifestyle modifications may also include dietary changes and exercises that can contribute to overall prostate health. The introduction of medications, specifically alpha receptor blockers, as a second-line treatment option is well-explained. These medications work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate, which can help alleviate symptoms such as difficulty urinating. This class of medications is commonly prescribed for conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) to improve urinary flow. Your description aligns with the step-wise approach often taken in clinical practice, where less invasive or conservative options are explored before considering more invasive interventions such as surgery. This approach allows for personalized care tailored to the severity of symptoms and the individual needs of the patient. It's important for men experiencing prostate-related symptoms to consult with healthcare professionals for a thorough evaluation and discussion of available treatment options. The decision-making process should involve considering the impact on quality of life, potential side effects, and individual preferences to arrive at the most suitable course of action.
