Prostate difficulties are a huge worry because of the large increase in the proportion of older people that are occurring every day, but most people are ignorant of how serious the situation is and think that prostate is just a natural part of becoming older.
Despite significant health advancements, 60 to 65 percent of prostate cancers that doctors regularly face are in stage 4 because they are discovered later.
A urinary tract infection, blood in the urine, difficulty commencing urination, slow (prolonged) urination, more frequent urination at night, stopping and starting while peeing, and trouble emptying one’s bald bladder are all symptoms.
Using his knowledge of the subject, he dispelled certain misconceptions about prostate cancer:
Myth 1: I will develop prostate cancer because my father did.
It is a fact that not everyone who has a family history of prostate cancer will develop it. We can easily diagnose and treat prostate cancer in such men and people, although they may require genetic testing and appropriate screening.
Myth 2: All urinary problems in men are caused by their prostates
Fact: In addition to urinary infections, stones, and other medical conditions, bladder issues can also create symptoms.
Myth 3: Urinary problems get worse when the prostate gets bigger.
Although it might appear rational, this is untrue. Significant edoema occasionally causes only modest symptoms, although small swelling frequently leads to catastrophic problems.
Myth 4: Mild enlargement of the prostate (BPH) may eventually develop into cancer Fact: BPH is a non-cancerous disorder, despite the fact that its early symptoms resemble those of prostate cancer.
Myth 5: BPH exclusively affects men in their 70s and 80s Factual Contrary to popular belief, age is only a risk factor. BPH can affect even men in their fifties.
Myth 6: There is a direct correlation between sexual function and the growth of the prostate. Reality: Neither frequent nor infrequent sexual activity has been linked to an increased risk of BPH or prostate cancer.
Myth 7: BPH is a natural part of aging, and there is little you can do about it. Reality: Safe medications and lifestyle adjustments help enhance the quality of life for prostate patients.
Myth 8: All people with BPH require therapy
Factual statement: Prostate enlargement on its own does not require medical attention. Requires a urologist to perform more clinical testing to rule up prostate cancer and also to make a treatment decision.
Myth 9: If you have urinary symptoms, drink a lot of water
FACT: Drinking excessive amounts of water seldom helps many prostate-related problems and occasionally even puts one’s life at risk.
Myth 10: Since I don’t exhibit any symptoms, I don’t have prostate cancer.
Fact: The early stages of prostate cancer can be totally symptom-free.
