Prostate Gland enlargement (BPH)- Homoeopathy Treatment- প্রোস্টেট গ্ল্যান্ড বৃদ্ধিতে হোমিওপ্যাথি চিকিৎসা

 

Introduction

The prostate gland is an organ of the male reproductive system. It lies just below the bladder and encircles the urethra. Though small, as big as a walnut in size, it plays a very significant role in male fertility and urinary health. The prostate mainly functions to produce fluid that feeds and protects sperm. The fluid mixes with the sperm fluid to form semen. This liquid is alkaline in nature hence it balances the acidic type of a woman's reproductive tract. This, therefore, increases the survival time of the sperms and their area of movement.

Prostate enlargement is also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It is common condition that effects many men as they grow old. When the prostate enlarges it can press against Urethra and may create uncomfortable symptoms  such as frequent urination, weak flow or difficulty starting urination.

This blog discusses how Homoeopathy offers a natural gentle approach to manage enlarged prostate gland supporting overall wellbeing without side effects associated with many traditional treatments. Please read to learn how homoeopathy medicines can help relieve symptoms and restore quality of life for those dealing with BPH.

Understanding Prostate Enlargement

Prostate Gland Enlargement is also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It is a non-cancerous growth in the size of the prostate gland. The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. As men age, the prostate can gradually enlarge. In BPH, this enlargement is due to an increase in the number of cells (hyperplasia)  not cancerous growth.

How BPH Affects the Urinary System: When the prostate gland enlarges, it may compress upon the urethra, narrowing or partially obstructing the passage through which urine flows. Several urinary symptoms may result from this restriction:

Frequent urge to urinate (especially at night),

Difficulty starting urination (hesitancy),

Weak or interrupted urine stream,

Incomplete bladder emptying (feeling like you still need to go even after urinating),

Dribbling at the end of urination.

Though BPH is noncancerous, the symptoms can seriously impair the quality of life of a patient and may cause complications if not treated.

Causes of Prostate Gland enlargement

BPH is mainly age - related problem, it often affects men over 50. With advancing age hormone levels especially testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) fluctuate. DHT contribute to the growth of prostate cells - leading to gland enlargement over time

 Risk of BPH may be increased due to family history. If close male relative faces prostate issues then genetics may play a role. Sedentary lifestyles and obesity can also aggravate BPH symptoms. Blood circulation may be slowed down due to physical inactivity in the pelvis which may influence prostate health negatively.

The risk of BPH may be contributed by taking high red meat and unhealthy fats. Low intake of fruits and vegetables also may cause of this problem. Poor dietary habits can lead to increased inflammation and may impact on prostate health.

Chronic stress also  exacerbate the symptoms of enlarged prostatic health. Stress hormones may impact both prostate health and urinary function. Stress can also weaken immune response, potentially exacerbating any existing prostate issues.

It is to be noted that BPH has no risk of cancer and it is not cancer as well. If you know the symptoms very well that will help you to distinguish between BPH and more serious prostate conditions
