In the Urological Clinic of the European Medical Center, any man can undergo a full urological examination of the genitourinary system within 2 hours. In case of detection of diseases and confirmation of the diagnosis, qualified specialists will select the most effective method of treatment and rehabilitation.
One of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system in men over the age of 40 is prostate adenoma (prostate gland), which is a benign formation. Prostate adenoma is an overgrowth of the prostate gland, which results in urinary disorders.
You need to make an appointment with a urologist if you have:
It should be noted that the disease can develop asymptomatically, therefore it is recommended that all men after the age of 40 undergo regular preventive examination by a urologist. In the EMC Urological clinic, URO Check-up takes place in just 2 hours. If the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment of the prostate gland should be started immediately.
What should I expect during a visit to a specialist at a urological clinic?
Prostate adenoma diagnosis is usually not difficult. The initial examination takes into account all the patient's complaints. A mandatory study is to determine the level of PSA in the blood (prostate-specific antigen), which allows for the differential diagnosis of prostate adenoma. Note that normal PSA levels should not exceed 4 ng/ml.
After that, a finger rectal examination of the prostate gland is performed. In order to clarify the diagnosis and determine the size of the neoplasm, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and uroflowmetry are used.
Transrectal ultrasound examination allows not only to determine the size of prostate adenoma, but also to diagnose and/or exclude the presence of prostate cancer, as well as to determine the presence of nodules, stones, and residual urine.
Uroflowmetry allows you to determine the degree of difficulty urinating. During this study, a special device determines the time and speed of urine flow during urination, which makes it possible to quantify violations.
Additional methods include X-ray examination methods (cystography and excretory urography, intravenous pyelography), which can be used to assess the effect of prostate adenoma on the upper urinary tract.
The results of the examination at the European Medical Center, thanks to the presence of its own clinical and diagnostic laboratory, can be obtained in the shortest possible time.
Treatment at the EMC Urological Clinic
Treatment of prostate adenoma can be conservative and surgical. The choice of therapy method is based on the results of diagnostic studies, the size of the neoplasm and the degree of urination disorder.
Conservative treatment of prostate adenoma
Conservative treatment is usually used in the early stages of the disease, i.e. with minor urinary disorders and no complications. This method is aimed at improving the blood circulation of the pelvic organs, eliminating the inflammatory process, reducing the size of the prostate by eliminating the swelling of the gland and facilitating urination.
During conservative treatment, the following are prescribed:
-
anti-inflammatory drugs aimed at reducing pain and inflammation;
-
prostatic enzyme inhibitors;
-
adrenoblockers;
-
antibacterial drugs;
-
physical therapy procedures.
Physiotherapy methods include various ways of influencing prostate adenoma.
Surgical treatment of prostate adenoma
Surgical treatment is performed in the late stages of the disease, when conservative treatment is powerless. Minimally invasive surgical procedures are currently used that do not require incisions of the bladder and urethra.
Surgical methods of treatment include transurethral resection of the prostate gland, extraperitoneal robot-assisted adenomectomy, laser therapy, and laser vaporization.
The Urological Clinic of the European Medical Center performs the diagnosis and treatment of prostate adenoma using modern equipment and the latest treatment techniques. Diagnosis and treatment are carried out under the supervision of qualified doctors with more than 15 years of experience.
