“ผ่าตัดผ่านกล้อง”...นวัตกรรมที่ช่วยคลี่คลายปัญหา “ต่อมลูกหมากโต” ของคุณผู้ชาย

<p>Although men aged 45 and over have a very high percentage of developing benign prostatic hyperplasia, there is no need to worry because this condition is not untreatable. The treatment method depends on the type of the disease and its severity, which requires a doctor&#8217;s diagnosis.</p>

<h4><span style="color: #00826a;">Starting the Diagnosis of “Types of Enlarged Prostate”</span></h4>
<p>Since the prostate is an organ located inside the pelvis and cannot be felt externally, to check whether the prostate is enlarged or to diagnose whether the enlarged prostate is benign or malignant (prostate cancer), doctors consider multiple factors. These include a digital rectal exam to feel for lumps, hardness, or irregularities, and blood tests to check for abnormal levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If abnormalities are found, an ultrasound or a prostate biopsy may be performed for more accurate diagnosis.</p>

<h4><span style="color: #00826a;">Assessing the “Severity” of the Disease… to Find Treatment Options</span></h4>
<p>At this point, doctors may evaluate the severity of abnormal urination symptoms. Additional tests may be used to assist in the assessment, such as measuring urine flow rate or urodynamics testing, which involves inserting a small catheter into the urethra to check the degree of prostate obstruction. Flexible cystoscopy may also be used. This helps doctors choose the most appropriate treatment method for each patient.</p>

<h4><span style="color: #00826a;">Choosing the “Appropriate” Treatment for the Patient’s Better Life</span></h4>
<p>If diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia that does not significantly interfere with daily life, doctors may recommend monitoring symptoms for a period without medication. If the severity is moderate, medication may be prescribed. However, if urinary problems worsen or obstruction causes bladder and kidney issues, surgery may be the appropriate treatment. Thanks to modern advancements, surgery can now be performed endoscopically without external incisions, allowing for faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. In cases of prostate cancer, treatment decisions depend on various factors including the stage of the disease, progression, age, and the patient’s overall health.</p>

<p>Remember, prevention is better than treatment. Although this condition cannot be prevented, early detection allows for timely intervention before it worsens. It is recommended to have a prostate check at least once a year, and if any abnormalities occur, promptly consult a urology specialist for accurate diagnosis.</p>
