PROSTATE HEALTH AWARENESS


MEN: My childhood,Manhood,My prostate.
Must Read:
Is prostate strictly for Men?
Yes,ONLY Men have prostate & ONLY men over 40years but the health care enlightment is for everyone.There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years above -father,uncle,son,friend,brother,neighbour,colleague.....
Essentially what am doing is health promotion.
Responsible health promotion must provide 3 things.
1-Information.
2-Reassurance
3-A plan of action.
Let me start with a background on prostate health.
Everyone has a pair of kidneys.the job of the kidney is to remove waste.It is the LAWMA{waste management coy}of your body.Everyday blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered.As the blood is filtered,urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder if there were to be no urinary as a man walks on the road urine will be dripping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house ,think of the urinary bladder as the overhead storage tank,from the storage tank , a good plumber will run pipes to other parts of the house,including the kitchen. God in his wisdom ran pipes from our urinary bladder to the tip of the penis.The pipe is called urethra just below the bladder & surrounding the urethra ia a little organ called the prostate glang.
The prostate gland is the size of a walnut and weighs 20grams.Its job is to make the seminal fluid comes down the urethra & mixes with the sperm produced in the testicles to form semen.So semen techinacally is not sperm.It is semen plus seminal fluid.
The seminal fluid lubricates the sperm.
After age 40,for reasons that may be hormonal,the prostate gland begins to enlarge from 20grams it may grow almost 100grams as it enlarges it squeezes the urethra & the man begins to notice changes in the way he urinates.
But other symptoms begins to show.
TERMINAL DRIPPING:
The man begins to notice that after urinating & repackaging ,urine still drops on his pants.This the reason why after an older man urinates,he has to ring bell.A younger man simply delivers to the last drop & walks away.Just see an older man coming from the bathroom.sometimes he may clutch the newspaper closely to hide the urine stains ,particularly on plain colored trousers.
HESISTANCY: At this point you wait longer for the urine flow to start.There are 2 valves that must open for you to urinate-the internal & external sphincters.Both open but beacuse of obstructions in the urethra.You wait long for the flow to strart.
INCOMPLETE EMPTYING:You have this feeling immediately after urinating that there is still something left.As all these things happen,the bladder begins to work harder to compensate for the obstruction in the urethra. The frequency of urination goes up.Urgency sets in,sometimes you have to practically run into the toilet.NOCTURIA also becomes common.You wake up more than 2 times at night to urinate,your wife begins to complain. Men being men may not talk to anyone even at this point.Then more serious complications start.
Stored urine gets infected & there may be burning sensation when urinating..
Stored urine forms crystals.Crystals comes together to form stones either in the bladder or in the kidney.Stones may block the urethra.
Chronic Urinary retention sets in.The bladder stores more and more urine. The size of the bladder is 40-60 cl. A bottle coke is 50cl,As the bladder may leak and thus leads wetting/urinary incontinence. Also the volume may put pressure on the kidney and may lead to kidney damage.What may likely bring the man to hospital is acute urinary retention. He wakes up one day he will not be able to pass urine. Everything i discussed above is associated with prostate enlargement,techically called benign-prostate hyperplasia.
These are other diseases of the prostate like
1- Prostatis- Inflammation of the prostate
2-prostate Cancer- Cancer pf the prostate
This discussion is on prostate enlargement.
I have bad news and good news.The bad news is that every man will have prostate enlargement if he lives long enough.
The good news is that there are life styles changes that can help the man after 40 to maintain optimum prostate health.
NUTRITION: Look at what you eat 33% of all cancer according to the US National cancer institute is related to what we eat. Read meat everyday triples your chances of prostate disease.Milk everyday doubles your risk,not taking fruits and vegetables daily quadruples your risk.
Tomatoes are very good for men of that is the only thing your wife can present in the evening eat with joy.It has loads of lycopene. Lycopene is the most potent natural antioxidants.Food that are rich in zincs are also good for men. We recommend pumpkin seed{ugbogulu}
Zinc is about the most essential element for male sexuality and fertility, men need more zinc than women. Every time a man ejaculates he loses 15mgof zinc. Zinc is also important for alcohol metabolism. Your liver needs zinc to metabolize alcohol consumption. As men begin to have urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement it is important they look at alcohol consumption.More fluids in means more fluids out.Drink less, drink slowly.
EXERCISE: Exercise helps build the muscle tone.Everyman should exercise. Man over 40 should avoid high impact exercise like jogging,it puts pressure on the knees.cycling is bad news for the prostate.We recommend brisk walking.
SITTING:When we sit, two-third of our weight rests on the pelvic bones. Men who sit longer are more prone to prostate symptoms.Do not sit for long hours.walk around as often as you can.sit on comfortable chairs.We recommend a divided saddle chair if you must sit long hours.
DRESSING: Men should avoid tight under wears. It impacts circulation around the groin and heats its up a bit,while the physiological temperature of about 33 degrees.Pant is a no -no for men,wear boxers ,wear breathable clothing.
SMOKING: Avoid smoking it affects blood vessels and impacts circulation around the groin.
SEX:Regular sex is good for prostate. Celibates are more prone to prostate illness,while celibacy is moral decision,it is not biological adaptation. Your prostate gland is designed to empty its content regularly.

Thought when someone shared something of value with you and you benefit from it.You have a moral obligation to share it with others because someone in your friends list might be saved.
