Prostate Treatment Options

There’s no one prostate treatment that’s right for every man, but there are plenty of options. Your doctor will consider many things when they recommend one for you, including:To get more news aboutprostatitis radical cure, you can visit our official website.

Your doctor might suggest waiting to see if your tumor will grow or spread before you treat it. Most prostate cancer grows slowly. Some doctors think it’s better not to treat it unless it changes or causes symptoms. In watchful waiting, your doctor will closely track how the disease makes you feel. With active surveillance, you’ll also get regular tests to check on the cancer.

It’s an option if you're healthy and your cancer hasn't spread. There are several types. Your doctor may only remove your prostate gland. Or they might take it and the tissue around it. The most common side effects from an operation are problems controlling your urine and trouble getting and keeping an erection. Sometimes they go away on their own after surgery, especially bladder control issues. Talk to your surgeon beforehand to see if they think they'll be able to protect the nerves around your prostate to prevent these side effects.

This treatment uses high-energy beams (similar to X-rays) to kill the cancer. It's often a choice when your cancer is low grade or still only in your prostate. You also might have it after surgery to get rid of any cancer cells left behind. It also helps for cancer that has spread to the bone.

Prostate cells need male sex hormones, like testosterone, to keep growing. This treatment keeps the cancer cells from getting them. Your doctor might call it androgen deprivation therapy. Some hormone treatments lower the levels of testosterone and other male hormones. Other types block the way those hormones work.
Drugs that you take by mouth or through an IV travel through your body, attacking and killing cancer cells and shrinking tumors. You might get chemo if the disease has spread outside your prostate and hormone therapy isn’t working for you.

If you have early prostate cancer, your doctor might choose to kill cancer cells by freezing them. They’ll put small needles or probes into your prostate to deliver very cold gasses that destroy the cells.

It’s hard to say for sure how well it works. Scientists haven’t done much long-term research that focuses on using it to treat prostate cancer. It's usually not the first treatment a doctor recommends.Most work by boosting your body's defenses so it can fight an infection. The prostate cancer vaccine gets your immune system to attack cancer cells. This treatment works best if you’ve tried hormone therapy and it isn't working anymore. The vaccine is custom-made for you. Scientists don’t know if it stops or slows down the cancer’s growth, but it does seem to help men live longer with prostate cancer.

Side effects are another thing to think about when you’re choosing a treatment. If they’re too tough to handle, you might want to change your approach. Talk to your doctor about what you can expect. They can also help you find ways to manage your side effects.

Chronic Prostatitis Get Radical Cures

When antibiotics seem not effective and bring many side effects on our bodies, more and more patients are searching for alternative medical approaches, like Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. Over 92% patients with chronic prostatitis or CPPS proved to have a radical cure with this herbal medicine.To get more news aboutprostatitis radical cure, you can visit our official website.

On August 30, 2006, WHO releases new treatment guidelines to deal with the growing drug resistance of antibiotics. Also, on September 21, 2016, the U.N. General Assembly devotes an entire day to the issue of superbugs and antibiotic resistance. At the same time, many patients blame antibiotics has become more and more difficult to treat their diseases. Except that, more evidences show that side effects of antibiotics outweigh its advantages.

Mr. W was from Canada, and he was diagnosed with chronic prostatitis in 2010. He lived with the disease for over a year, getting no effective treatment. He found herbal treatment of chronic prostatitis on Google and contacted Dr. Lee. At first he wasn’t quite confident in this completely unfamiliar treatment, so he just ordered one month of pills to "have a try”.

"When I finished first month of treatment, I found some of my symptoms got reduced, such as, ED (erectile dysfunction) is much released, but the pain in lower back still existed. And I have seen the improvements, so I’d like to continue the treatment. Then, after the next medication, I found ED is no longer a problem, and the pain in my lower back is quite slight. Then I took a test in the hospital, I was told that the prostate was no longer congestive, and was in a good size.
Growing antibiotic resistance and side effects have reduced treatment options of chronic prostatitis. Since doctors need to search new ways to treat it and herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill could be the best choice to replace antibiotics in the chronic prostatitis and CPPS treatment. ” Dr. Lee Xiaoping, the doctor of Wuhan Dr. Lee TCM Clinic says. Dr. Lee is a highly experienced medical professional, and specializes in the field of male and female reproductive and urinary system diseases.

Qualified as the herbalist 30 years, Dr. Lee adds that, "In TCM theory, many symptoms of chronic prostatitis and CPPS are caused by infection or inflammation, and result in the blood congestion in lesion parts. And the herbs in Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill work well to clear away heat and toxic material, dissipate hard lumps, dissolve stasis and release pain. What’s more, herbal treatment could also avoid some shortages that caused by antibiotics, as damages to liver and kidney, as well as drug resistance or tolerance, which is evidence as a natural and safe way to cure chronic prostatitis and CPPS.”

Except that, many patients live with chronic prostatitis for a long time, and at the same time, they also suffer many other reproductive complications like epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, and even have male infertility problems like necrospermia, azoospermia, etc. While Dr. Lee recommends that herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill could answer this problem. Because traditional Chinese theory holds that a scientific dosage of herbs could not only cure chronic prostatitis and CPPS, but also give significant effects on related male and female reproductive diseases. And from the view of TCM, the ideal treatment takes to cure the disease as a whole, not merely the symptoms, but also the cause; not merely the disease, but also nurture human body. Only this way, patients could get a complete cure, and won’t recur.

According to the patients’ clinical symptoms, heat-clearing and detoxifying herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill provides the significant effects to kill bacterial, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, induce diuresis and treat strangurtia method, reaching the effect of symptoms disappearing, reproductive or urinary organs back to normal.

WHEN MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER GET PROSTATITIS

Prostatitis is associated with inflammation (and or neural upregulation or sensitization), and in a few cases, infection of the prostate, causing pain in the prostate and pelvic area along with variable urinary symptoms. Acute bacterial prostatitis is rare, quite severe, relatively simple to diagnose, and quite easy to cure with antibiotics. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a little more difficult to diagnose, but is typically associated with a chronic bacterial infection of the prostate characterized by recurrent urinary tract infections. Again, antibiotics are the primary treatment. The majority of men with prostate and pelvic pain and urinary symptoms (over 90% of prostatitis diagnoses) do not have a bacterial infection and remain somewhat of a medical enigma. Diagnosis is made by ruling out bacterial infection (and/or no benefit with antibiotics) and any other urological condition that could produce pelvic or prostate pain. This condition is now known as chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Worldwide, approximately 6-8% of men have experienced prostatitis like symptoms, and for at least a third of these men, it is a very significant health concern. It is the most common urology diagnosis in men less than 50 years of age and the third most common urology diagnosis in men over 50 years. The impact on a patients’ quality of life is significant because of the constant chronic pain and its effect on life’s activities. The treatment is not very effective and must be individualized for each patient, usually using a multimodal treatment approach. The goal of treatment of CP/CPPS is not necessarily cure but rather relief from symptoms, increase in activities, and general improvement in quality of life.To get more news aboutprostatitis radical cure, you can visit our official website.

Men with a diagnosis of prostatitis appear to be diagnosed with prostate cancer more than men without prostatitis. While this might seem concerning, there is absolutely no concrete evidence that a prostatitis diagnosis actually increases the risk of developing or eventually dying from prostate cancer. It does increase the risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, presumably because of over utilization of urology care, higher worry about prostate disease including cancer, increased PSA testing, and thus increased likelihood of a prostate biopsy.

Inflammation of the prostate gland can have an impact on PSA screening for prostate cancer. While bacterial infection of the prostate gland (acute or chronic) can elevate the PSA levels 10 or even 100 fold, appropriate treatment usually brings down the level to baseline but takes at least 6 months after effective antibiotic treatment. Nonbacterial CP/CPPS can cause very minor increases in PSA in some individuals, however, an elevated PSA should never be attributable to CP/CPPS unless the patient and/or urologist is looking for an excuse to not perform a biopsy.

Many times, prostatitis symptoms bring patients to the urologist’s office only to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Other times, men are referred with an elevated PSA, and the urologist determines the patient has a prostatitis syndrome. Once prostate cancer is diagnosed, it can be followed by active surveillance or treatment according to best contemporary standards. However, a diagnosis of prostatitis should be taken into account when deciding upon the treatment modality, as it can impact, not necessarily the cancer prognosis, but rather the prostatitis symptoms. Radiation therapy can significantly aggravate the pain and urinary symptoms, while it is a fact that pelvic pain can persist after radical prostatectomy. Hormone therapy either has no impact or, in some patients, the prostatitis symptoms improve.

As noted in the previous section, men with a diagnosis of prostatitis, particularly those with an inflammatory subtype, can experience a temporary or even long term deterioration or exacerbation of symptoms. While some men have no change in the state of their prostatitis symptoms during or following radiation, it is impossible to predict the symptomatic outcome.

Men with no history of prostatitis can develop a radiation prostatitis, indistinguishable from CP/CPPS. This can occur with external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy (radioactive seeds implanted into the prostate). The symptoms could include dysuria (burning during urination), poor, intermittent, obstructive stream, pain on ejaculation, and pain in the prostate, pelvic and/or bladder area. It can be quite severe, with poor bladder emptying (even urinary retention), inflammation of the prostate and bladder neck, and even dystropic (abnormal) calcification of the prostate gland. While it can be temporary (typically at least several months), the severe symptoms can become a chronic condition. Antibiotics rarely help and treatment is only supportive (alpha blockers, anti-inflammatories, etc) and not curative.
Many men with severe prostatitis insist on having a prostatectomy, even when they do not have cancer, in a desperate attempt to alleviate symptoms. In many cases, the surgery is futile and symptoms persist after the prostate is removed. For those patients with both prostatitis and prostate cancer, a radical prostatectomy cannot be guaranteed to cure the prostatitis symptoms. The pelvic pain, in many cases, persists. If one is lucky enough and the prostatitis pain resolves, it unfortunately can return once the local pelvic nerve "shock” stage has passed. Although difficult to predict, about one third of patients with prostatitis symptoms undergoing a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer will see some resolution of their prostatitis symptoms. One of the most difficult aspects of CP/CPPS, or rather just CPPS, since we are discussing men who do not have a prostate, are those men who have never had prostatitis but develop symptoms of severe prostatitis following a radical prostatectomy. Patients report a pelvic pain described as burning, stabbing, sharp, knife-like and/or spasm-like. It is likely caused by some form of pelvic nerve damage during surgery, such that the nervous system (even beyond the pelvic area) becomes sensitized, resulting in a neuropathic pelvic pain syndrome. The treatment is both conservative (physiotherapy, heat treatment, muscle relaxants) and targeted stimulus. While this condition can persist in men for months and even years, it usually slowly improves with time.

As is known to all, chronic prostatitis is a stubborn and recurring disease among males. Many males have to live with its annoying symptoms and even the complication of infertility. Antibiotics are generally used for curing this disease. However, the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) warned of possible side effects of common antibiotics on May 13, 2016. The FDA said the potential side effects of fluoroquinolone anti-bacterial drugs often outweigh their benefits when it comes to treating people with bronchitis or basic sinus or urinary tract infections.To get more news aboutprostatitis radical cure, you can visit our official website.
There is a piece of news on page D7 of the New York edition about Lloyd Balch, a 33-year-old Manhattan resident and Web site manager for City College of New York. «Mr. Balch went to see a doctor because of a fever and cough. The result showed nothing but a mild case of pneumonia, and he was given Levaquin (fluoroquinolone anti-bacterial drugs). Although He had heard of problems with Levaquin and asked the doctor if he might take a different antibiotic, he was told Levaquin was the drug he needed. After just one dose, he developed widespread pain and weakness. He called to report this reaction, but was told to take the next dose. What’s worse, the next pill caused pain in all his joints and vision problem.»

Since fluoroquinolone anti-bacterial drugs are commonly used for patients with prostatitis, more and more prostatitis patients have realized the side effects of antibiotics, they prefer to cure this disease more naturally and safely. Therefore, the purely natural medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, invented by Dr. Lee, shows its great advantages for its herbal formula and efficient curative effect. This natural medication has been accepted by varieties of patients with prostatitis and has already cured many patients who are suffering from infertility because of prostatitis.

«I have been living with chronic prostatitis for over three years but get no effective treatment. I’ve tried all treatments with the possibility to improve this condition, such as antibiotics and prostate surgery. However, the results showed in vain. These methods can only relieve the symptoms but cannot cure the root of the disease.»Mr. White is from Canada, the early treatment of antibiotics and prostate surgery can’t cure the disease radically. By coincidence, he found Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill on Google and decided to order one month pills to «have a try». After seeing the improvement, he took extra three months medication. Finally, the disease was permanently cured.

«During the first month of treatment, the erectile dysfunction (ED) was much released, but the pain in lower back still existed. I was pleased to see the improvement so I was willing to continue the treatment. After three months, ED is no longer a problem for me, and the pain in lower back is quite slight. Then I took a test on prostate in hospital, and the result showed that the prostate was no longer congestive and was in a good size. It indicated that the inflammation in my prostate is already eliminated. In order to completely eliminate any possible cause of prostatitis to prevent from recurrence, I took fourth months medication as consolidation. Now, the symptoms have disappeared completely after four coursers of the treatment. Thanks to Dr. Lee, my prostatitis has been cured.»

«Herbal medicine has its distinctive advantages on curing prostatitis,» says Dr. Lee, «Since, antibiotics can only eliminate the inflammation and kill the bacteria but can’t cure the blockage of prostate gland. It’s easy to cause the secondary infection because of the residual inflammation. Whereas herbs can permeate to the prostate easily, it can eliminate the symptoms and inflammation more effectively and radically.»

The theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emphasize that «No obstruction no pain and vice versa». Therefore, all of the diseases that can cause pain to the body have relation to blood stasis and qi resistance. Since pain is one of the main symptoms of prostatitis, it’s essential to dissolve blood stasis, dissipate abnormal tissue and promote qi circulation. Besides, prostatitis is usually caused by bacteria, so it’s of great importance to clear up heat and remove toxins. Clinically, patients with chronic prostatitis also have symptoms of urgent urination, urethral burning, numbness and pain in the perineum and testicular. These symptoms are typical manifestations of dampness or stasis resistance on the concept of TCM.

The formula of Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill obeys the theories of TCM. The herbs in the pill are aimed at clearing away heat and toxins to kill the pathogenic bacteria, promoting the circulation of blood and qi to ease the pain and eliminate the inflammation, and relieving the stranguria and inducing diuresis to solve the urinary problems. Once the symptoms disappeared, the function of prostate will recover and the fertility rate will increase as well.According to the survey, many prostatitis patients have come out drug resistance and tolerance by taking long-term antibiotics, thus, it results in the delayed treatment of prostatitis and makes the infertility more difficult to be cured permanently since the halfway treatment will lead to the high recurrent rate of the disease. Whereas, the purely natural medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill has the advantage of no sides effects like drug resistance and tolerance.

What Is A Radical Prostatectomy ?

Removing the entire prostate gland through surgery, known as a radical prostatectomy, is a common option for men whose cancer has not spread. For men with advanced or recurrent disease, other surgical procedures may be chosen, such as removal of lymph nodes, which are initial landing spots for the spread of prostate cancer.To get more news aboutprostatitis radical cure, you can visit our official website.

Open radical prostatectomy is the classical way of surgically removing the prostate. In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen in order to remove the prostate. The prostate may also be removed through the perineum, the area between the scrotum and the anus, although this technique is uncommon.

In the last 10 years, laparoscopic (robotically assisted) radical prostatectomy has become very popular. This method requires small incisions to be made in the abdomen. A surgical robot’s arms are then inserted into the incisions. With a robotic interface, the surgeon controls the robot’s arms, which in turn control cameras and surgical instruments. Some studies suggest a shorter recovery period with robotic compared with open prostatectomy.
Whether open or laparoscopic surgery is chosen, this is a large operation, with a significant healing process. After a 1- to 2-night stay in the hospital, patients typically go home with some form of catheter to help drain urine for 7 to 14 days. In the initial weeks to months after surgery, it is expected and common to have incontinence or leakage of urine, and patients will need to wear adult diapers and/or pads; this generally improves over the first year following surgery. Calisthenics, weight lifting, golf, and many physical activities are prohibited for about the first 2 months after surgery, as the abdominal muscles and urethra heal from the surgery. Physical therapy, including Kegel exercises, can build up pelvic floor muscles and help some patients who are having persistent incontinence. Talk with your urologist about how you can increase your exercise tolerance by walking greater and greater distances over the course of your recovery.
There are 2 other therapies that may be given in conjunction with surgery, based on your pathology report after the surgery:

Radiation therapy is recommended in some men with high-risk prostate cancer who have cancer that has penetrated through the prostate capsule (layer of connective tissue around the prostate) and/or who have positive margins after surgery. Research has shown that recurrence rates drop by approximately 50% in men with a positive margin or T3 disease if radiation is given after surgery. You should discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of radiation therapy. Another strategy is to use radiation only if PSA levels rise; this is referred to as salvage radiation. Genomic tests (eg, Decipher, GenomeDx) have been developed that may help you and your doctor decide if you would benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy versus waiting to see if the PSA rises
Hormone therapy may be recommended for men who have cancer found in their lymph nodes at the time of surgery; for these men, hormone therapy following surgery has been shown to help patients live longer. Multiple clinical trials have not demonstrated a significant benefit to using hormone therapy before surgery, however.
