PROSTATE cancer is a disease that usually affects men generally, from the middle age of life. It is due to the major effects of increasing factors which have affected the prostate at one time or the other. This ranges from duration to hypertrophy and finally abnormal tissue growth.
Prostate is a gland situated at the base of the urethra within the urinary bladder area of a man. Gland is a juice-secreting organ in the body. They secret specific juices or fluids which are required in the body for specific purposes, or externally a waste matter. For instance, sweat glands secret sweat which is a clear watery fluid that cools the skin and reduces excessive body heat.
The lacrimal gland, secrets fluid which baths the eye, or tears during emotions. Prostate gland which secrets acid phosphatase and fructose forms part of the seminal fluid during ejaculation. This is the only major role which the prostate plays in the body. Having described the prostate and its functions, it will also be necessary at this point to explain the word "cancer" and its effects.
Cancer is a disease characterised by unrestrained and excessive replication of abnormal cells. It may occur in anybody’s tissue at any age. Cancer cells accumulate and form in durations, which later results to tumour and could be benign or malignant. They permeate, compress, and ultimately destroy the surrounding normal tissue. It is a disease which eats away parts of the affected body or organ. It can be described as an eroding ulcer which is harmful to that part of the body or organ. It can also attack other parts of the body from the original place of location, which could lead to death.
At this point, the condition can be said to be virulent, meaning that it could posses the properties that can change the character of the cells at any of the affected parts (anaplasia). It can also affect other surrounding organs or tissues (invasion) and can also be transmitted from one part of the body to another through the blood stream or the lymph channels across the body cavities. The main feature is a harmful abnormal growth of surface tissues of the affected part or the lining tissues (carcinoma). It could also form sarcoma of the connective tissues. Sometimes cancer does not spread. They only attack the organ from where they develop (benign). Cancer is a terrible disease to the sufferer. Pains are usually unbearable coupled with discomfort. The pain usually moves around the body giving the patient a biting or pinching sensation. Therefore prostate cancer can be described as abnormal changes or growths in the tissue or epithelial cells of the prostate. It could be terminal through invasion, the cancerous cells can enter into other organs as well as glands to attack them and hamper their functions. From enlargement, it can obstruct the flow of stool or urine which could result to obsolete constipation or urine/fluid retention in the body.
Causes
Prostate cancer can be caused by a trauma of the pelvic region. But the main cause is usually suppressed or palliated infection of the genital tract with the complications, which result in inflamation of the gland (prostatitis) or hypertrophy. The common pathological organisms that usually cause the problem are chlamydia, gonococcus, staphylococcus and trichomonas.
Signs/symptoms
The first and foremost sign of prostate cancer sets in after a suppressed or protracted genitol-urinary tract infection. They include difficulty (strain) in passing urine which is usually accompanied by dull pain and mild spasmodic cramps within the perineum. It is usually progressive and could lead to suppressed flow. The urine could be accompanied with a drop of blood at the end. Constipation is another sign. In this case, the patient will have the urge, but must have to strain before passing the stool no matter the quantity or texture. The reason is due to narrowing of the anal canal as a result of the enlarging prostate. Stools may also be retained after each round of defecating. Whenever a hard stool is passed, there will be a discharge of a milky substance from the urinary meatus via the urethra. Sometimes it is mixed with blood. As this continues, pain will increase, gradually extending to the lower part of the thigh and leg and radiation to the back up to the sacroiliac region. Shortly after, the patient may begin to notice constant discharge of blood whenever he urinates or even stools. The blood may be bright red. He may notice a protracted irritation within the urethra after micturition (urinating). Polyurea (increased frequency of passing urine) may also be noticed. This is usually a resultant effect of pressure from the enlarged prostate on the bladder (hypertrophy). Burning sensation within the urethra is also a common sensation.
Diagnosis There is no specific kind of test that is to be conducted to exclusively diagnose prostate cancer. But the diagnostic process includes a combination of medical investigatory tests such as scans and other medical examinations with clinical signs to complete the diagnosis.
Management
The term "cancer" usually sends cold waves down the spine of many people because it is always connected to an incurable or terminal disorder. With constant research in all sphere of medical care, the scourge of cancer is being eradicated. There are many methods of management using various systems of medicine. Let me state categorically here that despite any system of medicine that is being used for the management, interest must be laid on complete control /eradication.
Treatment
Once a diagnosis is made and the case is established. Treatment then commences using the best application system of medicine suitable for the patient. In the popular therapy, three major kinds of treatment exist. There are surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. In complementary system of medicine, such as naturopathy, acupuncture and homoeopathic. Alternative methods of treatment exist. In all, a homoeopathic remedy stands out and yields excellent results in the treatment of prostate cancer. A remedy known as prostain fort which contains a few homoeopathic remedies in a special blend is usually engaged in the treatment of prostatic cancer and hypertrophy. It is a non-chemical remedy with vast activities of action on the cancerous prostate. The remedy comes in tasteless powder form, and is electronically potentisised for proper efficacy. Therefore, in any case of prostate cancer in which the patients fail to respond well to popular therapies or does not go through surgery, then "prostatin fort" is a remedy of choice for these patients.
