The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ. It is about the size
of a walnut and is found at the base of the bladder. Diseases of the
prostate gland include enlargement of prostate gland (also called benign
prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), inflammation of prostate gland or
prostatitis, emission of prostatic fluid, pain in the prostatic fluid.
Many men experience urinary changes as they age. Troublesome urinary
symptoms are sometimes but not always, symptoms of prostate cancer.
Homeopathic treatment has broader scope in treating symptoms of prostate
gland.
In this article we’ll mainly concentrate on BPH but other diseases of the prostate gland will be discussed. The symptoms of enlarged prostate or BPH are:
Frequent Need to Urinate: It happens when the growing prostate presses on the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of your body.
Difficulty urinating: With an enlarged prostate, it may take you longer to get the flow of urine going, and the flow may be weaker than it used to be.
Inability to Urinate: This can happen when advanced BPH blocks your urethra entirely or as a result of a bladder infection.
Prostate Cancer: Symptoms of BPH can be scary because some of them are the same as those for prostate cancer. But an enlarged prostate is much more common than prostate cancer.
Allopathic approach to treat Enlarged Prostate or BPH:
Drugs: The drugs are sometimes prescribed for high blood pressure, alpha blockers help relax the muscles in the prostate gland and bladder. This allows urine to flow more freely. Some medications known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors help stop the prostate from growing. However, these medications can also lower sex drive and cause erectile dysfunction. Besides combining a medicine that relaxes the bladder muscles. There are complementary medicines which newer research has shown no benefit.
Less Invasive Procedures: When medication doesn't do the job, a number of procedures can remove excess tissue from the prostate, easing obstruction of the urethra.
Surgery: The most common surgery is a transurethral resection of the prostate. An instrument is inserted through the tip of the penis and into the urethra to remove parts of the enlarged prostate.
Will BPH Affect My Sex Life? There is some evidence that older men with severe BPH symptoms may be more likely to have problems in the bedroom, compared to other men their age. Some of the medications commonly used to treat BPH have been associated with problems getting an erection and ejaculating.
Homeopathic Treatment: In homeopathy we treat enlarged prostate along with other problems of the prostate gland as per symptoms. The following symptoms are taken into consideration:
With the BPH patient feels that he is sitting on a ball. Sometimes we see suppuration from prostate gland along with tension and nervousness in the area. There is twitching and uneasiness. With the enlargement of prostate gland we see dribbling of urine after stool and urine. Enlargement can be senile or diseases of the old age.
Another problem is suppuration sensation with or without fullness and gurgling sensation. There may be hardness without enlargement. These entire problems are associated with induration or swelling especially in old people. There is a sensation of heat and heaviness particularly during lascivious thoughts. We see inflammation or prostatitis from suppressed gonorrhea. In that case there are gonorrheal discharges from urethra. There may be irritation & jerking in the region. These complaints may be after onanism or self abuse or masturbation.
Emission of prostatic fluid is a common disease with so many peculiarities. It can be accompanied with inflammation of bladder. Prostatic fluid is dribbling, easily discharged; even an emission of flatus causes the emission. It can be seen with every emotion, can occur during erection or without any erection. It may occur while fondling women or during lascivious thoughts, while talking to a young lady, while sitting, with stool mainly with difficult stool or soft stool or after stool. There may be emission from thinking of it. It may be before, during or after urination.
Pain in the prostate Gland is common. It can take place on blowing nose, in cancer patient, after coition, during erection, during gonorrhea. Jarring, riding, sitting, standing may aggravate the pain. Pain may be seen while urging to stool, or after stool, during urination, at close or end of urination & after urination. There may be urging to urinate which may aggravate or ameliorate while walking. There may be aching pain in bladder and deep in pelvis in the morning and forenoon after coition (sex). Pain may be biting, burning, constrictive, dragging & drawing. While walking we see pressing pain in the perineum. Pressing pain can be seen during sex, at beginning of erection, on blowing nose, standing, while walking, during or after urination. We also see pulsating pain – in the region of prostate gland. There may be shooting or stitching pain, sometimes with soreness.
