Homeopathy Treatments for Prostate Hypertrophy
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men, and it plays a role in the male reproductive system by producing fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.
Causes:
The exact cause of BPH is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to hormonal changes associated with aging, particularly the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) . As men age, the prostate gland may become enlarged due to an increase in the number of cells (hyperplasia) and changes in the composition of the prostate tissue.
Symptoms:
Prostate hypertrophy can cause a variety of urinary symptoms due to its location near the urethra, which carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
Common symptoms of BPH may include:
Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia).
Urgency to urinate.
Difficulty starting urination.
Weak urine stream.
Dribbling at the end of urination.
Incomplete emptying of the bladder.
Urinary retention (inability to urinate).
Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Hematuria (blood in the urine).
Diagnosis:
Diagnostic tests may include urinalysis, urine flow studies, ultrasound imaging of the bladder and prostate, and measurement of residual urine volume after urination.
Treatment:
Acute urinary retention.
Chronic urinary retention.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Bladder stones.
Bladder diverticula.
Hematuria.
Kidney damage.
Sexual dysfunction.
