WHAT IS PROSTATE? WHERE CAN YOU FIND? WHAT DOES THIS DO?
The prostate gland is a gland (organ) found in ALL PEOPLE's lower abdomen, below the bladder, just in front of the rectum. The prostate gland is located in the not easily accessible PILTO area. Therefore, their disease can be insidious.
Both the urethra and sperm pass through the prostate gland. When men ejaculate, the prostate gland contracts and sends sperm to the penis. Here its function is to protect the sperm. Just as the salivary glands produce digestive fluids, the prostate gland is a gland that produces special substances in sperm related to reproduction and sperm maturation.
The prostate gland is located at a VERY compact junction where the urine, intestines and genitals are located. Therefore, a possible prostate problem can affect many systems and cause various diseases. In addition to the more common urinary problems, it can cause sexual problems such as premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, or other problems such as constipation and hernias.
Generally, the example of hazelnut is used to describe the prostate gland. Although similar in shape and size, the dura mater and its contents do not resemble the prostate. It resembles a plum due to its soft texture and spongy structure. Although it is usually the size of a plum, it can grow to the size of a tangerine or even an orange before the age of 40.
DO TEENS GET PROSTATE?
Every man has a prostate gland from the womb. In adolescent boys, the prostate gland is insignificant and weighs 3-6 g. As the level of male hormones increases during puberty, the prostate enlarges, reaches 20 g in weight, and begins to secrete sperm together with the seminal vesicle. This fluid is produced to protect the sperm cells on their way to the female genital tract.
The prostate, which remains the same size until the mid-40s, then begins to grow again. The most common problem among young people is inflammation of the prostate called PROSTAT. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and cancer are extremely rare at this age.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON PROSTATE DISEASES?
The most common prostate diseases are BPH (benign prostatic enlargement), prostate cancer, and prostatitis (prostate inflammation). These three diseases can cause urinary problems such as urination at night, frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, inability to urinate completely. Rarely, it can cause problems with ejaculation or bleeding.
While BPH (benign prostate enlargement) and prostate cancer are seen in men over 40, prostatitis is the disease of younger men.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GOAL CANCER AND TARGET GROWTH?
BPH (Benign Prostate Enlargement) is a condition that occurs in every man as he gets older. When it extends into the urethra (urinary tract) on the inside of the prostate, it makes urination difficult and causes publicly known prostate problems.
Prostate cancer is insidious because it usually originates in the prostate gland. It should not cause complaints such as benign prostate enlargement. Because
After the age of 40, it is necessary to have a check-up once a year. It can be fatal if not diagnosed early. People with a family history of prostate cancer should be especially careful. The risk can increase up to 7 times.
WHAT ARE THE 6 SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATE DISEASE IN A PERSON?
The main complaints can be
- night urination,
- frequent urination,
- burning sensation in the urine,
- incomplete emptying and residual urine sensation,
- urinary fork,
- painful/bleeding ejaculation-sperm.
However, it can cause intestinal problems such as constipation and inguinal hernia. But especially prostate cancer complaints may not be taken into account with the naked eye. That's why annual routine control is very important.
