There are three distinct types of disease of the prostate gland. These diseases share many symptoms but have different causes.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects approximately 50% of all men before the age of 50 and greater than 75% percent of men over the age of 60. Symptoms include difficulties associated with urinating, an urge to urinate even when the bladder is empty (urgency), frequent urination, especially at night, and a weak or intermittent stream or a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder and/or dribbling of urine
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate that may be caused by a bacterial infection. This disease may affect men of any age and can occur in any prostate whether small or enlarged. Symptoms of prostatitis are similar to those caused by an enlarged prostate and include urge frequency with difficulty in emptying the bladder. Prostatitis may be indicated by chills, fever and by pain or burning during urination
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men. However early detection often leads to the effective treatment of prostate cancer. In the majority of cases, prostate cancer will be detected while it is still localized, rather than metastasized (spread). When prostate cancer is detected early and treated, the five-year outcome is generally very successful. The prostate cancer screening process is critical in early detection
Prostate Surgery
During prostate laser surgery, a urologist inserts a scope through the tip of your penis into the tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra). The urethra is surrounded by the prostate. A laser is passed through the scope. The laser delivers energy that is used to shrink or to remove the excess tissue that is blocking the urethra and preventing urine flow.
There are different types of prostate laser surgery such as:
