Generally alpha blockers such as doxazosin are used which block the action of alpha receptors and relax the muscle in the prostate and improve symptoms. 5a reductase inhibitors reduce progression. There is also the option of surgery such as the trans urethral resection of prostate (TURP).

Restored Balance Products Prostate Care Progesterone Cream for Men Restored Balance Prostate Care Cream 2oz – 17.95 & Free Shipping According to Dr. John R. Lee (He is the pioneer of using Natural Progesterone cream for women), it is falling progesterone level in aging men that leads to a fall in testosterone levels. As the testosterone levels fall, the effect of estradiol increases, leading to Estrogen Dominence. Estradiol (the most powerful Estrogen) promotes the onco (cancer) gene, Bcl-2, while progesterone promotes the protective gene known as p53 which slows cell apoptosis. Evidence exists to show that prostate hypertrophy and prostate cancer are correlated with the condition of estradiol dominance. Dr. Lee, Dr. Eckhart, Dr. Maher, Dr. Hanley and Dr.Pensanti believe that it is excessive exposure to estrogen that is the primary cause of prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Xenoestrogens in the environment are among the culprits. While estrogen dominance raises the risk of prostate cancer, natural progesterone helps prevent it. Natural progesterone will balance this estrogen dominance. Progesterone is also a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor — it helps prevent the conversion of testosterone into DHT which is thought to contribute to prostate enlargement. What “Modern” medicine has to offer you if you have prostate enlargement are drugs and surgery that are only sometimes effective and often have side effects such as impotence, urinary dysfunction (for surgery, these side effects are permanent), decreased libido, breast enlargement and expense ($2/pill for Proscar). Natural approach to a healthy prostate gland is preferable if you are a man over the age of 50. _____________________________________________________ The most common problem associated with the prostate is enlargement of the prostate itself. This results in a narrowing of the urethra and can lead to many different urinary problems including the need to urinate three to four times a night, trouble in

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.

What are the pros and cons of this action. His blood rpt. is negative for Cancer. He wears a Bag now. Detailed comments will be appreciated.Tks.
Enlarged prostate causing inability to pass urine normally and requiring a bladder tube to drain the urine is a definite indication for surgery.
Nowadays the surgery is done minimally invasively via an endoscope.The procedure is called TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
TURP carries a significant risk of retrograde ejaculation at sexual intercourse and hence the patient may have a dry ejaculation and hence infertility.
The alternative is he has to wear the urine tube all the time which is unacceptable as a longterm solution.

I was told by my urologist I had severe bladder damage as a result of prostate cancer, however, the problems of severe incontinence did not exist prior to surgery.
my husband had the surgery so far with no complications. but from what i read, they have to cut alot of different things, nerves especially around ur bladder area.

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.
