Prostate Care: What Every Man Should Know – Prakash Hospital, Noida

People don't pay enough attention to men's health a lot of the time. Taking care of your prostate is one thing that people don't think about very often. The prostate is a small gland, but it is vitally essential for the health of the urinary and reproductive systems. As men become older, the probability of having prostate problems increases significantly. It's excellent that early screening and modern treatments can help with these concerns.

The expert urologists and andrologists at Prakash Hospital in Noida offer full prostate therapy to help men of all ages keep their urinary health, energy, and confidence high.

Getting to know the Prostate

The prostate gland is located in front of the rectum and below the bladder. It runs around the urethra, the tube that carries urine and sperm out of the body. The prostate's main role is to generate a fluid that protects and feeds sperm.

But because it is near the urethra, even small changes in its size or shape could make it impossible to pee or have sex. That's why it's so important to know the signs of prostate problems and get medical help right away.

1. Not harmful

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem in the prostate.

One of the most common ailments men experience after they turn 50 is BPH, or an enlarged prostate. It isn't cancer; however, it can cause irritating urinary symptoms like:

• Having problems starting or stopping urination
• The flow of urine is feeble.
• A lot of times, going to the restroom at night
• It looks like the bladder doesn't drain all the way.
• BPH is usually not harmful, but if it isn't treated, it can lead to bladder stones, urinary tract infections, or even kidney damage.
• At Prakash Hospital in Noida, we perform advanced diagnostic testing and minimally invasive procedures for BPH to ensure safe and effective treatment.

2. Prostate inflammation

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland that is often caused by a bacterial infection or tight pelvic muscles. Anyone of any age can get it, and it can cause:

• Pain or burning when you go to the bathroom
• Pain in the lower back or pelvic area
• Fever or chills
• Painful ejaculation
• Having trouble peeing

To determine whether you have prostatitis, our urology doctors will perform a physical exam, a urine test, and an imaging test. Depending on what's wrong, they might give you antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines, or pelvic treatment to help.

3. Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer in males, but if you catch it early, you have a good chance of getting better. Prostate cancer may not show any signs at first. It could develop worse and cause:

• Having problems going to the bathroom
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pain in the hips, back, or pelvis
• Unexplained fatigue or weight loss

At Prakash Hospital in Noida, we offer thorough screening and treatment for prostate cancer. This includes blood testing for PSA, MRI-guided diagnosis, and advanced oncology support for safe, personalized care.

Why You Should Get Prostate Screenings regularly

A lot of prostate problems get worse without any indicators. That's why men over 45 or with a family history of prostate cancer should undergo examinations often.

1. Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)

A simple test that enables the clinician to feel the size and texture of the prostate through the rectum.

2. A blood test for PSA

This test looks for Prostate-Specific Antigen in your blood. A high PSA level could signal that the prostate is inflamed, bigger than normal, or has cancer.

3. Imaging and, if necessary, a biopsy

We do ultrasounds, MRIs, and prostate biopsies to make the evaluation more accurate. Experts monitor these tests to ensure they are safe and accurate.

All screening and diagnostic tests at Prakash Hospital are conducted in a confidential, comfortable, and patient-friendly environment.

Things that make it more probable that you will develop prostate problems

• Certain things make some men more likely to have prostate problems:
• Age: The risk goes up a lot after you turn 50.
• Family History: If your father or brother has prostate cancer, your risk goes up by two.
• Lifestyle Factors: Being overweight, consuming a lot of fat, and not getting enough exercise all increase the risk.
• Ethnicity: African American males are more likely to acquire very severe prostate cancer.
• Hormonal changes: An imbalance in testosterone could be bad for the prostate's health.

Our specialists at Prakash Hospital emphasize the importance of men at risk getting regular health examinations so that any issues that arise can be addressed promptly and effectively.

How to Take Care of Your Prostate

Your daily habits should also help maintain your prostate healthy, not only medical care. Research supports these natural ways to protect your prostate:

1. Choose what you eat wisely

Eating foods that are high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories is helpful for your prostate health.

Tomatoes (lycopene), pumpkin seeds, green leafy vegetables, berries, and fish are all healthy foods.

Limit: fried foods, red meat, processed foods, and too much dairy.

2. Keep going

Exercise regularly is helpful for your prostate because it improves blood flow, balances hormones, and strengthens your immune system. You can make a difference by walking or biking quickly for 30 minutes every day.

3. Keep your weight in a healthy range.

Being overweight makes it more likely that you will have prostate cancer or have your prostate grow. You can maintain a healthy body weight by eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.

4. Make sure you drink enough water.

To maintain your urinary system's health and prevent infections, drink plenty of water. Your bladder may be painful if you drink too much alcohol or caffeine.

5. Quit smoking and cut back on drinking.

Both can throw off the balance of hormones and the flow of blood to the prostate.

6. Deal with Stress

Long-term stress can disrupt hormone balance and weaken the immune system. Yoga, meditation, and other relaxation techniques can help maintain balance between your body and mind.
