The Prostate

The prostate is a walnut – sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The prostate secretes fluid that carried sperm. It surrounds the urethra, the canal which carries urine from the bladder out of the body.

The Benigh Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

With age and time, haft of all men over the age of 50, the prostate enlarges causing pressure on the urethra. This causes problems with urination, also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH. The urinary symptoms include;

1. Frequent urination, especially at night
2. Sudden need to urinate (Urgency)
3. Need to wait before starting urination
4. Feeling that your bladder never completely empties
5. Dribbing or leaking
6. Weak stream

Treating BPH

There are many options for treating BPH including Medication, Heat Therapies and TURP. Generally, patients were forced to choose between an effective yet invasive surgical treatment (TURP) and heat therapy (Microwave) that were safe but doubtful or marginal effective.

Even the TURP is and effective procedure currently, there is a greater risk of complications including:

• Excessive blood loss
• Blood transfusion
• Incontinence
• Impotence
• Painful urination
• Required 3 – 4 days hospital
