The Urologists in Kolkata have traced the presence of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia as one of the major causes for the diseases. With the rise in the expectancy of life, the probability of having Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is also increased. 

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland. It exists within the male reproductive system. The gland is located just below the urinary bladder which is a sac that stores urine. The prostate surrounds the urethra whose main function is to carry urine from the bladder for release. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland. These are developed in the aged men. 

Complication in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

• A complete inability to form urination.
• Infection at the Urinary tract.
• The occurrence of damage in the kidney. This is caused by high pressure in the bladder. It happens as the victim is bound to retain urine.
• Damage in the bladder because of the weakening of the bladder walls. This is again caused by the pressure of urine on the walls of the bladder.
• The deposited mineral in the urine might cause the generation of bladder stones.

A wide variety of treatments are available for BPH. These include medication, minimally invasive therapies, and surgery. The Urologist in Kolkata determine the best treatment option taking into consideration some of the following factors, like

• The prostate size.
• Age of the patient.
• The detailed history of the health situation.
• The extent of discomfort or other troubles.

When the symptoms are seen to occur within tolerable limits, the doctor may ask you to postpone treatment and indulge in acute monitoring of symptoms. There are cases where symptoms have eased without treatment.

Medication

Medication is mostly applied for treating mild to moderate symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. 

The application of medication involves some uniquely built-up options. These include:

The Alpha-blockers: These types of medications help in the relaxation of bladder neck muscles and muscle fibres in the prostate, and helping in the ease of releasing urine. The medication of Alpha Blockers is enriched with the inclusion of a host of medicines. These medicines include alfuzosin (Uroxatral), doxazosin (Cardura), tamsulosin (Flomax), and silodosin (Rapaflo). These types of medicines have fast reaction over men who possess relatively smaller prostates. These medicines have their own side effects too. These may take the form of dizziness. It may also involve a harmless condition in which semen goes back into the bladder instead of getting out the tip of the penis. 

The 5-alpha reductase inhibitors:  These medications work in shrinking of the prostate by preventing hormonal changes that cause growth in the prostate. The medications include finasteride (Proscar), and dutasteride (Avodart). The application may require sustaining for a period of 6 months to get a dependable efficacy. The side effects of the medicine may take the form of retrograde ejaculation.

A combination of drug therapy: The Urologist in Kolkata might also recommend taking an alpha-blocker and 5-alpha reductase inhibitor at the same time. These types of joint medication are offered when any one of the medications is not able to produce the desired effect.

Tadalafil (Cialis). This medicine is used to treat erectile dysfunction. But research has revealed the fact that medicine can effectively treat BPH.
