What is Prostate Gland?
All men have a prostate, an apricot-sized muscular gland that produces part of the fluid that forms semen. It sits below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
The prostate plays an important role in the male reproductive system and its health becomes increasingly important with age.
Almost every man experiences some degree of prostate enlargement as he grows older.
Common Prostate Problems
There are several conditions that can affect the prostate gland. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent complications and improve quality of life.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. Regular screening and early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects men over 50 years of age.
Prostatitis
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland which may be caused by bacterial infection or other factors.
Diagnostic Tests for Prostate Disorders
- Digital Rectal Examination (DRE): The doctor examines the prostate through the rectum to detect abnormalities, lumps, or enlargement.
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: A blood test used to measure PSA levels and evaluate the risk of prostate disease or cancer.
- Prostate Biopsy: A tissue sample is taken from the prostate and examined in a laboratory for cancer or other abnormalities.
- Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS): An ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum to provide detailed images of the prostate gland.
