Prostate Hypertrophy and Risk of Impotency

Prostate hypertrophy is an innocent tissue growth of the prostate gland. That is why the prostate becomes larger in size.

Prostate gland hypertrophy develops because of hormonal lapses. In spite of the fact that some sources state that hypertrophy can be caused by sexual excessiveness or on the contrary by the absence of any intimate relations, the development of hypertrophy is promoted by abusing alcohol, infectious diseases of the urinogenital system. There is no proved case of similar correlation. Nevertheless, all the physicians remind that this disease can just become the reason for the beginning of processes which, finally, will lead to occurrence of other rather serious problems - impotence.

Urine is allocated in the form of a thin squirt and can even be interrupted. Urine can leak within a day, especially at night. If you feel something similar - do not delay visiting the doctor.

How is prostate hypertrophy treated?

At first we'd like to warn you that the medicamentous treatment is meaningful only on the initial stages of development. If you can wet normally and the bladder is emptied completely, it is expedient to use medical products which reduce the prostate a little and block the pain.

An operation is the most effective method allowing once and forever solving the problem of prostate hypertrophy.
