Prostate issues refer to a range of conditions affecting the prostate gland, a walnut-sized organ located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men. The prostate gland plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system by producing seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm during ejaculation. Common prostate issues include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), and prostate cancer.

At Manohari Super Speciality Hospital Urology & IVF Centre, led by Dr. Harsha. S, our team of skilled urologists specializes in the diagnosis and management of prostate issues. We understand the importance of prostate health and are committed to providing comprehensive care and support to men experiencing prostate-related symptoms or concerns.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak urine flow, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Treatment options for BPH may include medications to relax the muscles of the prostate and improve urine flow, minimally invasive procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or laser therapy, or surgical interventions to remove or reduce the size of the prostate gland.

Prostatitis is inflammation or infection of the prostate gland, which can cause urinary symptoms, pelvic pain, discomfort during urination, and sexual dysfunction. Treatment for prostatitis may involve antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, pain management medications, alpha-blockers to relax the muscles of the prostate and urinary tract, and lifestyle modifications to relieve symptoms and promote prostate health.

Prostate cancer is a malignant growth of cells in the prostate gland and is the most common cancer in men. Treatment options for prostate cancer may include active surveillance (regular monitoring without immediate treatment), surgery to remove the prostate gland (radical prostatectomy), radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the stage and aggressiveness of the cancer.
