			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of men consult prostate cancer questions and answers forum to clear their presumptions or even to know the prostate problems symptoms. Let us first know the background of prostate cancer and the parts of the body that will be affected if one has prostate cancer. This is actually a disease affecting the prostate. Prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. When one gets prostate cancer, there is prostate mutation.</p>
<p>When this happens prostate multiply uncontrollably. These cells which have multiplied will spread from the prostate to the other parts of the body. In most case, the cells spread to the bones and lymph nodes. Usually, when a man is affected by prostate cancer the prostate problems symptoms are that he will experience difficulty in urinating and worse is there is erectile dysfunction. What is difficult with this type of cancer is that there are no early signs of prostate cancer in men.</p>
<p>Commonly, people will consult a doctor when the disease is already severe. This is a bad practice. There should be a regular check up in order for one to know his health condition. As stated earlier, there are no early symptoms prostate cancer. The following are experienced when cancer cells have spread beyond the prostate: during night time, the persons urinates frequently; while urinating, there is difficulty in starting or stopping the urinary stream; weak or interrupted urinary stream; painful sensation during urination or ejaculation; and there is blood in urine or semen. However, research tells us that these are not symptoms of the cancer itself. They are only the symptoms of the blockage from the cancer growth within the prostate and surrounding tissues.</p>
<p>Signs of prostate cancer in men are evident when prostate cancer is advanced already. The symptoms include: dull, incessant deep pain or stiffness in the pelvis, lower back, ribs or upper thighs; arthritic pain in the bones of those areas; loss of weight and appetite, fatigue, nausea, or vomiting.</p>
<p>Generally, prostate cancer develops in men over the age of fifty. This is the most common cancer in men. Since there are no early symptoms prostate cancer, prevention is the best antidote. There are two main factors affecting the prostate, these are genetics and diet. The former runs in the blood but the latter can be adjusted or maintained. Eating the right kind and the right amount of food still leads to good health. Hence, proper diet aids people to have minimal ailments.</p>
<p>On the other hand, to detect prostate problems symptoms, physical examination, prostate specific antigen (PSA), or biopsy are recommended. If one is diagnosed with prostate cancer, he has to undergo further tests like CT scans and bone scans.</p>
<p>Here are pieces of advice to those who have prostate cancer, first, never take medicines without doctor&#8217;s prescriptions. Yes, there are new cancer drugs but these have to be taken under doctors advice. Second, if you find out that you have prostate problem symptoms, consult a doctor as to what to do and what medicines you need to take.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a path breaking solution to all prostate gland related urological problems, Sagar Hospitals brings to Bangalore the world&#8217;s most advanced, breakthrough, out-patient Laser procedure for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate experienced by most men after the age of fifty.<br /><span>GreenLight PVP™, or Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate,</span> is unlike any other enlarged prostate treatment, since it combines the effectiveness of an invasive surgical procedure with the safety and ease of a minimally invasive treatment. <strong>The GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure</strong> has been proven safe, effective and durable in clinical studies conducted over a five-year period at many leading medical institutions across the world.</p>
<p>Announcing the launch of the new technology,<strong> Dr. Hemachandra Sagar, Chairman, Sagar Hospitals Bangalore</strong> said, &#8220;We are extremely delighted to bring the world&#8217;s best and latest technology for the treatment of prostate related problems in India. The Institute will not only provide succor to the people suffering from prostate disease, but is the most modern centre offering complete urological solutions.&#8221; Choosing a BPH treatment involves careful consideration to determine if the treatment is safe, effective in relieving symptoms and restoring urine flow, long-lasting and easy to tolerate. The most commonly available treatments all require the patient to make significant compromises in these areas. Drug therapy provides some symptom relief but requires a daily commitment to medication, is costly and likely to fail over time. Conventional surgery in the form of Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) of Holmium enucleation prostate (HOLEP) have proven to be effective treatment for BPH, but are associated with higher risks and complications, such as impotence, incontinence and the need for blood transfusions, as well as a prolonged catheterization and a 4-6 week recovery period. In contrast, most minimally invasive heat treatments offer reduced risks and also reduced efficacy and delayed symptom relief for several weeks following treatment. With the <strong>GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure,</strong> BPH patients no longer need to compromise the effectiveness or the safety of treatment. <strong>The GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure</strong> is a true treatment solution, not just a step in the management of BPH.<strong>Dr. Dilip Dhanpal, Senior Urologist, Sagar Hospitals</strong> said, &#8220;Urology has always been the most techno-intensive medical discipline. <strong>The GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure</strong> is the latest technological innovation in the treatment of prostate gland enlargements. As a practicing specialist trained on this new technique, I find it to be a quick and bloodless operation as compared to the existing option of TURP (Transurethral Resection Prostate) or the Holmium Laser Enucleation Prostate (HOLEP) and an efficient, cost effective, complication free procedure beneficial to the patient. It is an ideal procedure for high risk patients such as cardiac patients and patients on anticoagulants.&#8221; Prostate is an integral part of the reproductive system for men, providing the fluid necessary to transport sperm during ejaculation. However, as men age, the prostate gland can be a source of problem, consequent to an increases in size. Prostate enlargement is a condition that causes urinary problems in nearly half of all men over the age of 50, and that percentage increases with age. By the age of 80, nearly 80% of all men suffer from BPH symptoms. Although BPH is the most common health problem for men in this age group, there is a lack of awareness and understanding about the condition, symptoms, treatment solutions and overall health risks with delayed treatment.<br /><strong>Dr. Mahmood A. Hai, MD, Oakwood Annapolis Hospital, USA, </strong>said, &#8220;BPH can have devastating effects on the quality of one&#8217;s life, ranging from disturbed sleep, to avoiding going out in public places, for fear of inability to hold urine. While BPH may be as common as getting gray hair, or needing reading glasses, men can now choose to do something about it. <strong>The GreenLight PVP™ Laser Procedure</strong> offers patients a surgery that is safe, totally effective, with lasting relief in symptoms. My patients have reported that they have a whole new lease on life, and can once again enjoy things many of us take for granted; such as going out to eat, or to the movies, or playing golf.&#8221; &#8220;Unlike other BPH treatments, <strong>the GreenLight PVP™ Laser Procedure</strong> offers immediate relief in symptoms with minimal pain and results that are better than traditional TURP or HOLEP surgery,&#8221; said Dr. Hai.<br /> With the breakthrough <strong>GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure at Sagar Hospital</strong>, Bangalore men suffering from enlarged prostate in their 50s and above, will witness unparalleled clinical endpoints, immediate and dramatic relief of symptoms, no catheterization in many cases, very short outpatient procedure and short convalescence. <br /> In addition, Sagar Hospitals also offers comprehensive treatment solutions in Urology for stone disease, urinary incontinence, male infertility and erectile dysfunction and urological cancer using state of the art equipment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to a recent survey one in every ten men will suffer from prostate related problem at some point in his life. Prostate related problems are increasingly becoming as common as common cold in America. But if you follow the following instructions laid down in this article you can surely minimize your chances of suffering from prostatitis to a great extent. So without any further delay let us discuss some ways to counter prostate related problems.</p>
<p>Problems Related To Prostate<br />Prostate gland plays a very vital role in ourbody, as it is responsible for secreting a fluid which forms a large part of the semen as well as it is responsible for proper functioning of the urinary system. It is a gland that keeps on growing the problem starts when their is some extra growth as it can lead to impotence and problem in urinating.</p>
<p>Lifestyle Changes<br />These days life has become so hectic that one hardly gets time for himself which results in body becoming fatiqued as a result certain diseases start to grip your body. So in order to stay healthy you have to give yourself some time. For starters start eating home cooked food as it is 100% more hyginic and healthier than food served at restaurants. Also start exercising regularly as it helps increase testosterone levels in the body as it helps in optimal functioning of the reproductive system.</p>
<p>Mention of Prostatitis In Ayurveda<br />Ayurveda which is known as the oldest system of medicine dating back to more than 5000 years has mentioned about the problem of an enlarged prostate as follows &#8221; their organ size of a peanut located near the urinary bladder and if it has unnatural growth can cause problems of urination and erectile dysfunction&#8221;. There are also some herbs mentioned which can help bring the prostate back to its normal size. Saw palmetto and tribulus terrestritis are two such herbs which have been extensively used and researched worlwide for their prostate shrinking properties and helping relieve urinary tract problems.</p>
<p>Other Things To Consider<br />Addictions like intake of alcohol and cigarette smoking are very harmful if you are taking herbs for treatment as they interfere with the proper functioning of the herbs and reduce their efficacy to a very large extent resulting in further damage to the body. So it is always advisable to stay away from such addictions and also one more thing is to reduce the intake of tea and coffee as they contain caffeine which is harmful for the reproductive system.</p>
<p>Saw Palmetto As a Cure For An Enlarged Prostate<br />Saw palmetto is one of the world&#8217;s most popular herb used by men worldwide. It is mostly cultivated in south east asia and has been known to be every effective in shrinking an enlarged prostate. A recent study in Canada has confirmed its efficacy in shrinking the prostate.</p>
<p>Use Of Herbs In Treating Health Conditions<br />Unlike western medicine which causes a lot of side effects, use of herbs does not cause any side effects but they take time show results but the treatment effected through herbal medication is permanent and it not only treats the disease but the person as a whole.</p>
