Prostate Enlargement

Prostatitis/Prostate enlargement is an abnormal swelling of the prostate gland often due to an infection. Your prostate is located below the male’s bladder and is responsible for making some of the semen fluid.

Prostate Enlargement Symptoms

The prostate enlargement symptoms are: Prostatitis
•    An urge to urinate often, but you only void small amounts of urine each time
•    Difficulty starting the urine flow or keeping the flow steady
•    Dribbling after urinating
•    A need to get up and go to the bathroom often during the night
•    Lower back pain
•    Testicle and anus pain which become worse when having a bowel movement
•    In some cases a fever and chills may be present

An urologist can often make an accurate diagnosis of prostate enlargement just by your description of your symptoms and your health history. Your urologist will want to do a physical examination first, followed by a digital rectal examination to determine which treatment will ease your discomfort and pain.

Treatment of prostate enlargement

Usually treatment for an enlarged prostate begins with taking an antibiotic to cure the infection involved and prevent further complications. If you are unable to urinate you may be admitted to the hospital for treatment for several days.

Depending upon the severity of the prostate enlargement treatment can last from 4 to 12 weeks. If prostate stones are causing he condition you may need surgery to remove them; although this condition is rare.
The key goal of treatment is to alleviate the symptoms such as:
•    Muscle relaxants for prostate spasms
•    Pain medications such as NSAID’s
•    Medications to reduce anxiety
•    Antibiotics to cure the infection, which may be the primary cause of your prostate enlargement
