<\/h3>\nMen go through menopause too<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nAs with women, men’s hormones ride a roller coaster as they age. The testicles are in the driver’s seat: Their intermediate cells produce fewer sex hormones from the age of 50. Decreasing testosterone levels are manifested by decreased sex drive and enlarged prostate gland.<\/p>\n
The prostate represents the largest part of the ejaculate. For this purpose, the walnut-sized organ located in the pelvic floor encloses the urethra, into which it releases its secretion and brings the sperm to life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is benign prostatic hyperplasia?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis proximity can become a problem in old age, because the prostate tissue grows hormone-dependent. Less testosterone in the blood makes it proliferate in many men, causing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The common “man’s disease” narrows the urethra and impairs urination. The first signs of BPH are a nocturnal urge to urinate with incomplete bladder emptying, and later urinary incontinence and urinary retention. Other typical complaints are erectile dysfunction and painful ejaculation with reduced ejaculate quantity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What to do about benign prostate enlargement?<\/strong><\/h3>\nMan is reluctant to go to the doctor, because the subject is embarrassing to him? He should. The contact person is the urologist who also performs the prostate screening. Early detection is important because minimally invasive surgery is possible with early diagnosis. In transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), the surgeon inserts an endoscope through the urethra and removes the excess tissue with a wire loop or laser.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How to treat prostate cancer?<\/strong><\/h3>\nWaiting can be fatal, because sometimes BPH becomes malignant and develops into prostate cancer. In the case of complete removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy, RPE), the surgeon removes the prostate and local metastases from the pelvic floor. The operation is performed classically with an abdominal incision or minimally invasive via a laparoscope inserted through the abdominal wall.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What are the consequences of prostate surgery?<\/strong><\/h3>\nProblematic are interventions on the pelvic floor muscles, sphincter and urethra as well as the peeling or removal of the prostate capsule. The muscles in the pelvic floor hold the bladder and the urinary tract in place, the sphincter is necessary for urine control, and the nerves for erection and ejaculation run in the capsule. Therefore, urinary incontinence and impotence are the most common consequences of prostate surgery.<\/p>\n
With urinary incontinence, there are not only problems with urination, but urine is passed involuntarily and\/or it “dribbles” after going to the toilet up to continuous urine loss. Such symptoms significantly impair the quality of life, and many sufferers withdraw and avoid social contacts. This can be easily helped for most: A pelvic floor training device alleviates many complaints.<\/p>\n
