This chart defines the prostate and shows sagittal posterior superior and anterior views of a normal prostate. It shows zones of the prostate vasculature and innervation and hormonal influence on the prostate and illustrates and discusses the glands of the prostate. The chart also shows benign prostatic hyperplasia prostate cancer and pathways for plexiform venous aborizations./P

Make sure the loo is not too far away!
i have planed on joining the army for as long as i can remember, the bad part is i might have to have my prostate removed not for cancer but for a re occurring bacterial infection that causes inflammation and is completely benign my question is can i still join the army even though i had that surgery, also i don’t plan on going into any infantry type job, im going to go into intelligence aspect of the army, does that matter?
Sounds like you have bacterial benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The surgeries to treat this often are done as an outpatient and involve enlarging the urethra opening through the prostate.
I just had the HoLAP procedure done. It was an outpatient surgery and I was quickly back at work (complete recovery in less than 3 months). There are other laser surgeries less invasive. These types of surgeries not probably no worse than having a wisdom tooth pulled. I cannot imagine that such a surgery would prevent you from serving. But, the best way to find out s to ask a recruiter.
Is there a common group that suffer from repeat prostatitis?
Men under 25 years hardly ever have BPH.It’s a disorder of the 5th-6th decade of life.
That said,however,Prostatitis is a different kettle of fish altogether.Retrograde ejaculation (such as occurs sometimes during furtive masturbation) and urethritis (either sexually transmitted or otherwise) have roles to play in the pathophysiology of Prostatitis.
These 2 factors are commoner in men between 18-35 years.

Question stimulated by the book Living With Lung and Colon Endometriosis: Catamenial Pneumothorax by Dr. Glynis D. Wallace
I asked this question after receiving letters complaining women are not receiving proper treatment & diagnosis for endometriosis because, “it is a non-cancerous woman’s disease”. THAT IS INCORRECT! It is because the disease was misunderstood and under diagnosed. www.catamenialpneumothorax.org
Yes I took Zoladex injections once a month for six months for endometriosis. It is also used to treat cervical cancer and prostate cancer. It is intense and difficult to handle most side effects.

GREAT QUESTION—-ASK YOUR DR TOO CHECK YOU OUT BEFORE YOU DIE OF CANCER

Any sort of bad life style habits can cause negative effect to all areas of your health. I don’t know if smoking and excessive alcohol causes prostatic hyperplasia but it sure can cause many other conditions some of which could cause this issue to come up.
i just had TURP last week of jan this year. no evidence of malignancy is seen on pathology report. im taking PROSCAR
daily (finesteride) Is it enough?
The best medicine is the one that works for you. If you are having problems with the dosage or the medication, you should be talking to the doctor who prescribed it not strangers on the Internet. Why is your ativar a female?
after visiting a urologist i have been told i have a benign feeling prostate with 15-20 mls volume, and have to have more tests done including renal ultrasound,cystoscopy and kub x-ray and psa blood test at first it was thought i had kidnet stones but this has been ruled out.but there is microscopic blood in the urine does anyone know whats going on?
Don’t ask medical questions on here. Some idiot will likely tell you that you have some dangerous disease or something. the only way to know anything for certain is to go see you own doctor, even a doctor on here would not be able to give a proper diagnosis without examining you and having your medical background
If you have BPH, try NOT to take medications such as antihistamines, diuretics, decongestants, antispasmodics, tranquilizers and certain types of antidepressants. These can weaken the bladder muscle or narrow the opening of the prostate and worsen the BPH symptoms.

PART 2- In this second installment video, we review the technical aspects and intraoperative landmarks during treatment with a case PVP demonstration.
Anatomic landmarks which will be highlighted include:
-bladder neck
-verumontanum
-urinary sphincter
-prostatic surgical capsule
-ureteral orfices
Laser fibre handling, laser beam direction and distance from tissue will be demonstrated. Tissue vaporization will be demonstrated with efficient debulking in a bloodless fashion. At the completion of the surgery, usually in less than 1 hour, the final prostate fossa is wide open and a catheter is placed temporarily until the anasthesia wears off.

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.
The “Prostate Cancer Treatment” report includes a review of possible signs and symptoms (such as weak flow of urine or painful ejactulation); descriptions of the various tests used for diagnosis (including digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen test); an explanation of the various stages of prostate cancer (Stages I, II, III, and IV); an overview of treatment options (including watchful waiting, surgery, and radation therapy); and also includes 10 pages of related medical terminology (to help you understand what your medical provider is talking about.
