Question 1

what to do if i have many symptoms of enlarged prostate gland and i'm becoming worried. what could happen?

Accepted Answer

See urologist timely: Prostate size is not always linearly related with voiding symptoms. Voiding symptoms for a 34-y-o man may result from poor relaxation of bladder neck or urethral stricture. To detail &amp; elaborate possible causes for troubling voiding in an individual young man, go to see a urologist for proper evaluation and Rx. 400-letter space and online discussion are not enough to detail, So, again, go to see..

Question 2

can a cystoscopy detect an enlarged prostate gland?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cystoscopy is the test of choice for evaluating the bladder by visual examination. It can also visualize the inner part of the prostate (prostatic urethra) that lines the urethra. When there is enlargement, the degree of obstruction and the length of prostate can be measured.

Question 3

how one can live with kidney cysts and enlarged prostate gland?

Accepted Answer

BPH and Renal Cysts: Enlarged prostate (BPH) results from an increase number of cells in the gland. Medicines to shrink or relax the prostate are sufficient for many. Some require surgery.
Simple kidney cysts arise for unclear reasons but are harmless.  When cysts are more complex or cause kidney dysfunction, evaluation and treatment, usually with close follow up, are critical.
Bph and cysts are common benign problems.

Question 4

please help! what is the better treatment for enlarged prostate gland?

Accepted Answer

BPH treatments: The best treatment choice for you depends on several factors, including how much troublesome your symptoms are, the size of your prostate, other health conditions you may have, and your age. Drugs that can help reduce BPH are alpha-blockers, 5 Alpha reductase inhibitors or a combination of the the drug classes. Another newer treatment is with daily 5 mg doses of tadalafil. See a urologist

Question 5

does an enlarged prostate gland necessarily lead to increased frequency of urination?

Accepted Answer

No, not necessarily.: Though men with enlarged prostates tend to have more urinary symptoms, there is no clear correlation between prostate volume and urinary bother. Prostates increase in size because nodules of tissue within the prostate enlarge. If a nodule starts to block urine outflow, you can get urinary frequency even with a relatively small prostate. Some men with very large prostates have minimal bother.

Question 6

i have all symptoms of enlarged prostate gland, so what do you say about this.
had uti but its no more) but still i have the symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Treat the problem: A boy rarely gets a UTI. He gets STDs. If your problem was not correctly treated the infection could seed into  the prostate gland and brcome harder to treat. If your treatment for your UTI was not successful you may need further evaluation with someone expert in STDs and young men's health.

Question 7

if a person has an operation for an enlarged prostate gland then is it typically the case that a catheter is needed temporarily during the post-operative period or does it depend on the way in which the surgery is performed?

Accepted Answer

Cather is normal: to prevent urethral swelling.

Question 8

my uncle just undergone turp for enlarged prostate gland. post surgery he has hypotonic bladder. is it curable!? what is the treatment

Accepted Answer

Difficult problem: If recent there may still be recovery, the first step in treatment is a good evaluation, usually with urodynamic studies to determine if it is truly a weak bladder vs a persistent obstruction. If the bladder is weak, but he can void and does not experience repeat infections then it may be best to do nothing beyond behavioral strategies. The only real treatment is a catheter, preferably self-cath.

Question 9

enlarged prostate. psa 11.9 ng/ml.doctor advised for prostate biopsy. can i take finasteride 5 mg tablets to shrink my prostate gland before  biopsy ?

Accepted Answer

No point: Prostate biopsy is 2c if u have prostate cancer or not. Finesteride is used for benign symptomatic prostatic enlargement. May well be an option if prostate biopsy is negative.
