June is Men’s Health Month, so let’s look at various prostate issues, as well as how to treat and prevent them.
Guest columnistMajor health complications can arise from prostate issues, including prostate cancer, decreased quality of life because of urinary symptoms, and even bladder infections that can cause hospitalizations and the inability to urinate. The average age of diagnosis for prostate cancer is the late 60s. Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men, according to the American Cancer Society.
The prostate can be prone to quite a few issues but the main three conditions, according to Harvard Health, are prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Each of these conditions can have serious health consequences if not treated in a timely manner. There are many medications to treat these issues but sometimes, surgery is a treatment option for BPH. Surgery occurs in cases where the medicine provided does not provide adequate results or medication intolerance related to side effects.Prostate cancer occurs when there is an abnormal growth of cells around the prostate.
Radiation therapy: This treatment uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. There are two kinds of radiation therapy: External radiation therapy, which is beamed into the prostate from a machine outside the body; and internal radiation therapy , which uses radioactive “seeds” that are placed in the prostate, into or near the tumor itself.
